About

A charming small to medium-sized tree, it is prized for its dense, glossy green foliage. Its most notable feature is the profusion of bright red, pea-sized fruits that ripen directly on the branches, creating a striking display.

Where it works in Kilifi

Ideal for coastal gardens, this tree thrives in full sun to partial shade and prefers well-drained soils, tolerating sandy conditions. Plant it as an attractive specimen tree, for informal screening, or as part of a mixed native planting scheme, allowing ample space for its spread.

Growing notes

It establishes at a moderate rate, becoming remarkably drought-tolerant once mature, requiring minimal supplemental water. This hardy species is well-suited to the coastal climate and is relatively pest and disease free.
