It is an evergreen to semi-decidous tree that is drought resistant but not frost resistant. The tree normally grows in dense groups with other trees, reaching 15 m in height and is very attractive to birds. The leaves have a thin texture and are a blue-green colour.

Flowers appear in early to mid summer and are followed by sweet, yellow to brownish red fruit towards the end of summer. Sowing : They should be planted in seedling trays filled with river sand or a mixture of compost and river sand (1:1). After planting them, they should be covered with a thin layer of sand and kept moist. Germination takes 5-9 days. Seedlings should only be transplanted in nursery bags after reaching the 2-leaf stage. Locality: Polokwane. Harvest: February 2021. Wholesale for this item is $500 per 10,000 seeds.
