Kei Apple (Kei Appelboom) #

Dovyalis caffra

A hardy, evergreen shrub or small tree known for its dense, thorny branches and small, plum-like, bright yellow fruit.
Native to southern Africa, it thrives in coastal conditions and poor soils, making it a resilient choice for windbreaks or security hedging.
Its tart fruit is rich in vitamin C and often used in jams or preserves.
It is dioecious — so you’ll need both male and female plants nearby to enjoy a fruit harvest.
