A striking and unusual tree, Kigelia africana is best known for its large, sausage-shaped fruit that hangs from its branches, creating a dramatic visual effect.
It has a spreading canopy with lush, dark green foliage that produces stunning, deep red, trumpet-shaped flowers that attract pollinators, especially bats.
This tree is moderately wind-resistant and can handle coastal conditions, though it prefers a warm, sheltered spot. It is not particularly frost-tolerant and thrives in well-drained soil with regular watering.
While not commonly used for screening due to its open growth habit, its bold presence makes it an excellent focal point in larger gardens.
