Pseudolachnostylis maprouneifolia is a small, rounded tree that is normally found on rocky outcrops in the Savannah biome. The small yellow-green flowers are followed by yellow berries that are relished by birds (and apparently by kudus as well). The bluish leaves turn red in autumn.

The compact form of this tree makes it a good garden subject, but frost resistance is not really known. The hardiness will depend on the area where the seed has been collected.
