About
These evergreen trees are cherished globally for their fragrant blossoms and a wide array of colourful, vitamin-rich fruits. They bring a vibrant touch to any garden, offering both ornamental beauty and delicious produce.
Where it works in Kilifi
Ideal for full sun exposure and well-drained loamy soils, they serve as excellent specimen trees or can be planted in orchards. Ensure adequate spacing to allow for mature canopy development and good air circulation.
Growing notes
With a moderate growth rate, established plants require regular watering during dry spells to ensure good fruit production, though they are quite drought-tolerant once mature. Protect young trees from strong winds and ensure good drainage to prevent root issues.
