Candlewood, Cherrywood or Kershout, Pterocelastrus tricuspidatus, Celastraceae, South Africa. Leaves and Flowers.
Candlewood, Cherrywood or Kershout, Pterocelastrus tricuspidatus, Celastraceae, South Africa. A tree that grows particularly well in coastal conditions. It naturally occurs from Cape Town in the west, all the way along the south coast of South Africa as far as Kwazulu-Natal. In the wild it reaches 10 meters in height. It can also be allowed to grow as a bushy screen if its lower branches are not removed. The masses of sweetly-scented, bisexual flowers are followed by large numbers of very distinctive and attractive bright-orange, lantern-shaped berries.
