Where it works in Kilifi

Ideal for large gardens, parks, or restoration projects in Kilifi, it thrives in full sun and well-drained soils. Plant as a majestic specimen or a shade tree, allowing ample space for its broad canopy to develop fully.

Growing notes

This species exhibits a moderate to fast growth rate and, once established, is remarkably drought-tolerant, requiring minimal supplementary watering. It is well-adapted to coastal conditions, flourishing without special care beyond initial establishment.
