Looking for a fast-growing tree for your garden? Consider Celtis africana, commonly known as White Stinkwood. This deciduous tree is a member of the Cannabaceae family and is widespread throughout South Africa and Ethiopia. It's known for its pale trunk and branches and hemispherical canopy. Celtis africana is also a popular choice for bonsai enthusiasts. Browsing cattle and goats enjoy its leaves while birds feed on its plentiful fruit, making it an ideal tree for planning bird-friendly gardens. While it grows quite large, heavy branches can be managed with proper pruning. Bring a bit of Africa to your garden with the hardy and easily propagated Celtis africana.
