Often called the 'Miracle Tree', this fast-growing species is highly valued for its nutrient-rich leaves, pods, and seeds. It is a slender, deciduous tree with fragrant, creamy-white flowers, producing long, distinctive seed pods.
Where it works in Kilifi
Thrives in full sun and well-drained soils, tolerating poor conditions and coastal exposure. Ideal as a fast-growing specimen tree, for edible landscaping, or in food forests, requiring moderate spacing due to its open habit.
Growing notes
Grows rapidly, establishing quickly with minimal water once mature. Extremely hardy and drought-tolerant, it requires little maintenance and can be pruned heavily to manage size or encourage leaf production.
