Cussonia zuluensis is a fairly hardy, evergreen, small, sparsely branched, multi-stemmed tree with leathery, glossy, dark green leaves. New growth flushes purplish-red. The umbels of greenish-yellow flowers appear from September to February and are followed by fleshy, mauve, goblet-shaped fruit which are relished by birds.
A decorative tree for the garden and containers. Plant in a protected corner in shady or semi-shade conditions, in well drained soil.
Do not plant Cussonia near walls, pools, pipes or paving as they have an aggressive root system.
Size: Up to 4m
