Searsia zeyheri | Blue currant for sale | Bloutaaibos

Blue currant (Bloutaaibos) is one of the most beautiful Searsia species. It is a small, semi-deciduous, fast growing, hardy tree, often with a shrub-like growth form. Its roots are non-aggressive. Searsia zeyheri bears attractive clusters of russet-red fruit - a favorite for fruit-eating birds. The species distinguish between male and female trees. Only the latter bear fruit. Plant Blue currant as a color contrast in a small garden (even very small garden), or to shield an unsightly wall. It is an undiscovered "no-nonsense" and easy to grow jewel.
