Englerophytum magalismontanum | Transvaal milkplum for sale | Stamvrug 

Transvaal milkplum is quite frost hardy and somewhat drought tolerant.  It is an evergreen tree, unfortunately with a very slow growth rate. Englerophytum magalismontanum bears tasty red fruit on its trunk and branches – hence the Afrikaans name “Stamvrug” (trunk fruit). Leaves of the tree have distinctly different top and bottom colors, which makes it a striking garden species. Young branches and leaves are densely covered with fine brownish hairs. Transvaal milkplumb’s root system is not aggressive and mature trees are quite small.
