Kiggelaria africana, commonly known as the Wild Peach or African Peach, is a deciduous tree native to sub-Saharan Africa. Typically growing 4 to 14 meters tall, it features a dense, rounded canopy with glossy, dark green leaves. In spring and summer, the tree produces clusters of small, yellowish flowers, which attract a variety of pollinators. The tree is followed by green, peach-like fruits that ripen to brown. Kiggelaria africana thrives in well-drained soils and full sun to partial shade. It is valued in landscaping for its attractive foliage, seasonal flowers, and its ability to support wildlife in its natural habitat.
