| Combretum padoides Family: Combretaceae Thicket Bushwillow Origin: South-Eastern Africa ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The Thicket Bushwillow occurs in the lowlands of tropical and south-eastern Africa. They grow in a range of habitats from muddy riverbanks to dry rocky hillsides. The mostly opposite oval leaves are carried on long slender branches. The trees or shrubs flower in profusion in mid-summer and the 4-winged fruits reach maturity from late summer to mid winter. Mature plants, though large, don't assume a true tree shape as their drooping branches are adapted to merge or intertwine with surrounding grass and shrubs for support. Bright red showy flower. |
