Common Names: Mgambo, Black Pearl Tree, Velvet Seed Tree Native to east Africa, the Mgambo Tree is sometimes referred to as the Black Pearl or Velvet-seed Tree owing to its unique velvety black seeds, which are displayed like pearls in the bright red interior of its fruit pods. So ornamental are its seeds, they are often used in artisan jewelry and the dried pods in the composition of bouquets and pot pourris. This highly ornamental small tree has lovely shiny foliage and an attractive growth habit with a nice rounded canopy, making them well suited to small tropical gardens or as a beautiful container plant in cooler climates. At maturity these grow to about 4.5 meters tall and wide but will be smaller when container grown. Hardy in only frost-free zones, otherwise they make a rare and unique houseplant.
