About This Plant
The Kei Apple (Dovyalis caffra) is a spiny evergreen shrub or small tree native to southern Africa. It grows quickly into a dense, protective barrier and produces small, golden-yellow fruits with a sharp, tangy flavor reminiscent of apricots and citrus. The fruit is high in vitamin C and antioxidants and is commonly used in jams, jellies, sauces, or dried as a tart, chewy snack. The plant is drought-tolerant, thrives in full sun, and adapts to poor or sandy soils. It provides habitat and food for wildlife and features thorny branches for added ornamental value.
