SCHOTIA BRACHPETALA WEEPING BOER BEAN
This large, handsome, evergreen tree is drought resistant and relatively frost resistant in warm areas. It is found in riverine forests so is adaptable as it grows in the sun, shade or semi-shade. The stunning rich, deep red flowers open in spring and summer and they attract birds, the insect, fruit and nectar eaters. It flowers best after a long dry winter so don't be tempted to water it in the winter. It is used for nesting sites and attracts Foxy and Giant charaxes butterflies. The bark is traditionally used to make sangoma's red dye and the seeds are roasted and eaten. The seeds were eaten by the early Boers. Its a show stopper when in flower This is a popular bonsai subject.
