Kigelia africana commonly known as the sausage tree is an African tree beautiful when in flower but easily recognised later by its huge sausage shaped fruits hanging from the branches. Best not planted where people are active underneath the tree as the fruits weigh up to 7Kg each! The fruit is used for some medical skin benefits and the tree is considered sacred by many communities. Only useful as a novelty in the UK but may be suitable for amy region that is frost free and quite cool tolerant.
