Searsia pentherii (was Rhus pentherii) is a hardy, mostly evergreen, small decorative tree with dark brown, fissured bark and olive-green, trifoliate leaves. The inconspicuous flowers are borne from August to March and are followed by masses of shiny, light brown fruit from September to April (male and female flowers on separate plants, therefore only female plants bear fruit).
Ideal tree for a small garden and a good addition to a bird garden.
Plant in sun or semi-shade
Size: 2 to 6m
