Description

This good-looking ornamental tree is ideal for game farms as monkeys consume its flowers and baboons and antelopes devour its fruit.

It is a popular shade tree for parking areas, schools, estates and any other large landscape. It is able to tolerate drought as well as strong winds. Also suitable as an indoor or container plant.
