Harpephyllum caffrum

The Wild Plum is an indigenous tree well loved in gardens for its deep shade and as magnet for birds and butterflies. It is evergreen and may grow to up to 15m tall. Naturally it grows in forests from the Eastern Cape through Kwazulu-Natal and onto the escarpment of Mpumalanga and Limpopo, where the fruits are enjoyed by a wide range of mammals (including people), birds and insects.
