With a minimum germination rate of 70%, these seeds come with detailed germination instructions and are ideal for those looking to enhance their garden with both medicinal and ornamental value. ## Description Also known as the sausage tree for its distinctively long fruit, Kigelia africana grows throughout tropical Africa where it is valued for a number of traditional uses. The tree reaches 15 to 18 m (50 to 60 ft) high, maturing in four to six years, and is popular as a street tree in South Africa for its dense, shade-giving crown and glossy foliage. Its burgundy, bell-shaped flowers have a slightly fetid odor, but the woody fruits that follow are Kigelia africana’s defining feature. Weighing up to 14 kg (30 lb), the grey-brown, sausage-shaped fruits grow to 0.6 m (2 ft) long with a 10 cm (4 in) diameter. They are poisonous while unripe, but the pulp is edible after being baked and is often utilized in the fermentation process of traditional African beer. Roasted seeds are also eaten, as well as the dried leaves, which are nutritious and rich in minerals. The sausage tree is also used widely in indigenous traditional medicine, with applications for stomach ailments, rheumatism, wounds, respiratory problems, and skin care. The trunks are even hollowed out into dugout canoes, called makoros in Botswana. Kigelia africana grows well in moist soil with good drainage in full sun or light shade, with some drought tolerance as established trees. ## Features - Viable seeds of Kigelia africana, an important medicinial and ornamental tree in tropical Africa - Suitable for outdoor planting in USDA plant hardiness zones 10 to 11 - Germination instructions are included - Minimum tested germination rate is 70% - Collected in 2023 ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Product Care Instructions | Moist Soil | | Color | Grey-brown | | Unit Count | 15.0 Count | | Number of Pieces | 15 | | Moisture Needs | Moderate Watering | | Sunlight Exposure | Full Sun | | Indoor Outdoor Usage | Outdoor | ## Product Details - **Indoor/Outdoor Usage:** Outdoor - **Brand:** The Seedy Business - **Color:** Grey-brown - **Sunlight Exposure:** Full Sun - **Unit Count:** 15.0 Count - **Product Care Instructions:** Moist Soil - **Expected Plant Height:** 18 Meters - **Moisture Needs:** Moderate Watering - **Number of Pieces:** 15 - **UPC:** 647829976477 ## Images ![Kigelia africana (Sausage Tree) - 15 Seeds - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91lCotOVGSL.jpg) ![Kigelia africana (Sausage Tree) - 15 Seeds - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91pBXdOD4cL.jpg) ![Kigelia africana (Sausage Tree) - 15 Seeds - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91clsRCoZNL.jpg) ![Kigelia africana (Sausage Tree) - 15 Seeds - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91tfGrG5iPL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Give them time! *by S***D on August 14, 2022* They looked like they were done for and the next thing I knew bam!
