A nice houseplant or outdoor (pot) plant. Combines very well with flowering plants at its base. Regular pruning ensures a full, compact plant of 1-1.5m in height. In Africa, the hard wood is valued for building huts, the leaves and roots have various medicinal applications (see internet), and the bark is used as rope!
