Introduction

Crateva adansonii is a deciduous tree developing a rounded crown as it grows older; it usually grows from 3 - 10 metres tall, but with occasional specimens to 16 metres. The bowl is irregular and seldom straight.

Because of fire damage, and the repeated stripping of its leaves, the tree is often found as a stunted specimen in the wild.

The tree is harvested from the wild for local use as a food and medicine. A small, handsome tree, it is worthy of cultivation as an ornamental for its dense masses of white flowers borne at the ends of all the shoots.

The plant can tolerate occasional short-lived light frosts.

Succeeds in full sun or in partial shade. Requires a moist soil.

Prefers a deep, sandy to loamy soil.

Tolerant of seasonal inundation of the soil.

The leaves have a disagreeable smell when crushed.

The plant can survive bush fires, resprouting from the old wood.
