Kaffir plum
- Product number: 121050
- Origin: Southern Africa
- Latin: Harpephyllum caffrum
This small tree originates from Southern Africa, where it is very popular as a street tree. After the abundant white blooms, plum-shaped fruits appear, which make a delicious jam. You can also make a good wine from them... The bark is a popular medicine for skin diseases. The leaves are long and compound, meaning it looks as if the main vein is a stem with separate leaves. The leaf color is dark green and due to the typical structure, the leaves feel somewhat "crisp", a beautiful houseplant that can be enjoyed outdoors in summer.
