Description
A medium-sized to large, mostly evergreen tree that can reach 30 m in height with feathery foliage, thought to originally be native to savanna and woodlands in the drier regions of tropical Africa but widely cultivated today all around the world for its fruit which yields a sweet and sour pulp that is popular for a wide variety of culinary uses. It is also a popular ornamental and can even be trained as a bonsai.
