Plant Description

  Cussonia spicata is a decorative tree that makes a lovely form plant with large bright green leaves crowded at the tips of the branches. The ripe fruits attract birds and butterflies. It becomes frost resistant if protected when young, especially from cold winds.

Cussonia spicata makes a good container plant or garden subject, but do not plant close to walls as it has fleshy, swollen roots. It grows quite fast.

You may find stock of this plant at Random Harvest.
