Product Description

5 Seeds Schotia latifolia bush or forest boer-bean

The attractive pink blooms of the forest boer-bean are probably its most distinctive feature, unlike its close relatives, the weeping boer-bean ( Schotia brachypetala ), the dwarf boer-been ( S. capitata ) and the Karoo boer-bean ( S. afra ) which usually have scarlet flowers.

Description Schotia latifolia is a tree which grows up to 3 m high where the habitat is dry and scrubby but may reach 15 m when growing in more moist areas. The crown is rounded in shape unless growing in a forest habitat where the tree will be taller and more slender, the crown shaped according to the forest canopy. In Mpumalanga it is usually found on mountain slopes. The bark is usually smooth and reddish brown to grey.
