Common names: white stinkwood (English). 
Botanical name: Celtis africana

Celtis africana, also known as white stinkwood, is a deciduous tree that can grow up to 25 meters tall in its natural habitat but can be treated as a medium-sized tree in a garden. It is a fast-growing and easy-to-grow tree that provides shade in summer and can thrive under a wide range of conditions. Celtis africana is common and widespread in South Africa, occurring in a wide range of habitats from the coast up to 2,100 meters. The tree produces small, greenish, star-like flowers in spring, followed by masses of small, rounded, berry-like fruits from October to February. The wood of Celtis africana is white to yellowish in color and of medium hardness, making it suitable for making furniture and is thought to have magical properties. Celtis africana is an excellent tree for large gardens and parks, and has also proved to be a successful street and avenue tree.
