Spectacular Monthly Tree - July 2012

Although we have many tree species at our nursery that are looking spectacular at any given time, we feature just one tree in particular every month that we know will offer you the best value for money and that will add that special touch to your landscape project.

 

Our Harpephyllum caffrum are massive and are looking absolutely stunning. This lovely, medium to large evergreen tree has a dense, spreading crown, making it a popular choice as a shade tree for parks, streets and gardens. The compound leaves are crowded like rosettes at the end of thick branchlets and the shiny, dark green leaflets are sickle shaped with a slightly wavy, asymmetric margin. The insignificant whitish flowers appear as sprays at the ends of the branches while the oblong fruit is fleshy and bright red when ripe. Although the fruit is rather sour it makes an excellent jelly and is also used to make wine.
