Strychnos madagascariensis - Black Monkey Orange

8 seeds per pack. A hard shelled, round fruit ripening to yellow orange, with edible flesh. Both the flesh and the dried seeds are enjoyed by people in its native range. Small tree to 10-25 feet, probably not frost hardy. Very uncommon and native to southern Africa. Also note that this species is a near relative of several species which contain poisonous alkaloids such as strychnine, usually found in the seeds or various plant parts. Never ingest any part of any plant without prior knowledge of its safety. As with all our offerings, all seeds are for planting purposes only. #3056
