Description

Grewia lasiocarpa is a large shrub or small tree, hardy, evergreen, with smooth grey bark and dense foliage. The leaves are large, almost circular, coarsely haired above, and densely covered with fine hairs below.

Attractive, large, star-shaped, pale pink flowers appear from January to March, followed by 4-lobed, hairy, reddish fruit from March to July.

The fruit attracts birds and, in the wild, warthogs and baboons. These fruits often remain on the tree for a long time, eventually turning black.

Although this plant is hardy in most climates, it thrives in areas with high rainfall. Plant in full sun or partial shade.
