Fever Tree

Vachellia xanthophloea, commonly known as the fever tree, is a striking, medium-sized tree with a unique, yellow-green bark that adds color and texture to any landscape.

Its delicate, feathery foliage creates a soft, airy appearance, making it a beautiful focal point in the garden.

Thriving in the Western Cape’s Mediterranean climate, this tree prefers well-drained soils and full sun but can tolerate partial shade.

It is moderately frost-tolerant, handling light frosts, and is well-suited to coastal conditions, making it a versatile choice for a variety of settings.

While not particularly wind-resistant, it can be used for screening in sheltered areas.

In spring and summer, Vachellia xanthophloea produces clusters of yellow, ball-shaped flowers that attract bees and other pollinators, adding a seasonal burst of color to the garden.

With its unique bark, fragrant flowers, and ability to adapt to different conditions, this tree is perfect for adding a touch of elegance to your outdoor space.
