It bears bright red berries during late autumn. Its berries as well as leaves have a strong but pleasant lemon odor. Zanthoxylum capense is frost tolerant and quite water wise.  Small knobwood (so named after the cone shape knobs on its trunk and branches) is ideal for planting in a small and even very small garden. Plant it as "something different" which will also attract birds. The tree responds well to pruning and can be planted in a large pot.
