Wild Plum Tree (Wildepruimboom) #
Harpephyllum caffrum

- A handsome evergreen with a rounded crown and glossy, dark green foliage that brings structure and shade to gardens and streetscapes.
- Produces small, tart, reddish-purple fruit enjoyed by birds and sometimes used in jams and traditional fermented drinks.
- With its tolerance for coastal conditions and low-maintenance growth, it’s valued for both its resilience and visual impact.
- The timber is tough and termite-resistant, often used informally for poles or fencing.
