Allophylus natalensis is a hardy, evergreen shrub or small tree with smooth or wrinkled, greyish-brown bark. It has a dense crown of firm, shiny, dark green, Searsia (Rhus)-like, trifoliate leaves.
Massed clusters of small whitish green, sweetly scented flowers are borne from March to July and attract butterflies and other insects.
The clusters of conspicuous shiny red, edible berries can weigh the branches down. They make a lovely show from June to August and attract birds.
A beautiful tree for small gardens as well as a great screening plant that can also form a decorative, specimen shrub once established.
Plant in sun or shade, in well drained soil.
Size: 2 to 5 meter
