This small to medium sized tree is perfect for a small garden. It reaches about 3-8m in height, with a single roughly fissured corky trunk. Its evergreen foliage is always a rich glossy green colour. It bears clusters of white star shaped fragrant flowers from the start of spring to the end of summer. The fruit is usually in pairs, with a look and texture similar to a toads skin.
It will grow in semi shade to full sun, and requires moderate water in well draining soil. It is frost hardy to an extent.
Apart from the yellow pulp being eaten on its own, the Zulu people add it to milk to speed up the curdling process. The seeds are also burnt, ground to a powder and mixed with tobacco for chewing or smoking. As a medicinal plant it has a variety of uses. Easily propagated from seed. It requires full sun and must be well watered. It is half-hardy and young plants should be protected from frost.
