MARULA TREE (SCLEROCARYA BIRREA)

Description:

Summary[edit] Description: English: Traditionally the tree is used for everything from malaria cures to insecticide, not to mention as a food source – even more so in the summer months when the branches are often decorated with brightly coloured mopane worms, themselves an important source of protein for millions of people in southern Africa.

In addition to fruit trees and nut trees, we have botanical and flowering trees that provide materials for tools, furniture, housing and medicine.(Source : African Epicure).
