Combretum kraussii "Forest bushwillow" 20Liter
Product Details
Botanical Name: Combretum kraussii

📌 Product Description
Combretum kraussii, commonly known as Forest Bushwillow, is an elegant indigenous tree valued for its glossy foliage and striking seasonal colour changes. New leaves emerge in shades of coppery red before maturing to deep green, creating a beautiful contrast in the landscape.
This medium-sized tree develops a neat, rounded canopy and is well suited to gardens where a refined, ornamental indigenous species is desired. It produces small, inconspicuous flowers followed by distinctive winged seeds typical of the Combretum genus.
Forest Bushwillow is ideal for adding texture, colour, and biodiversity to South African gardens.
