Albizia adianthifolia
The Flat-crown is a large tree occurring in coastal and mountain forests, in South Africa restricted to the subtropical coast of Kwazulu-Natal and an apparently isolated population in north-eastern Limpopo Province. It usually grows to about 25m tall with exceptional specimens towering to 40m high.
Elephants love browsing on the leaves and pods of the Flat-crown and several kinds of butterfly raise their caterpillars on it. While the bark is poisonous in sufficient quantities it is used in traditional medicine to treat intestinal parasites. Due to its interesting growth form the Flat-crown is often found in large gardens in frost-free parts of the country.

Beautiful!
One of my favourites!
I think we saw these in Kenya Do they grow there too?
If it wasn’t this exact species it might have been a closely related one, Anne
Nice, Love the Flat-crown trees!
I do too, Ilze. They’re an iconic species in a part of my country that I really love.
Truly iconic trees!
One I love seeing when travelling in that favourite part of the country, Anne
