Kiggelaria
Kiggelaria is a large, robust, low-branching African tree. Unlike peach leaves, they are fairly thick and stiff, with a thin coating of fur on the undersides. A well-shaped, robust, evergreen tree with grey-green leaves. The smooth bark is pale grey in colour and the tree tends to be low-branching. The wild peach is dioecious (having separate male and female trees) and its tiny flowers are bell-shaped and a yellowish colour. The flowers are followed later in the summer by round, green capsules. These split open once ripe and the seeds, which are each covered in a layer of bright orange-red flesh, are eaten and spread by birds. This genus includes 1 species. This tree grows across southern and eastern Africa. It occurs naturally in Afromontane forests as well as by the coast, in bushveld and along rivers.
