'''Rhus pentheri''' Common Crowberry (English) Gewone Kraaibessie (Afrikaans) iNhlokoshiyane (isiZulu) Mutasiri (baVenda)
Frost hardy tree reaching a height of up to 6 metres. The tree is mainly evergreen but looses its leaves in severe winters. It has olive-green foliage with dark brown bark and can be grown in either full sun or semi shade. Small flowers are produced and are followed by masses of shiny, light brown, small fruits, which provide a feast for birds. Only female trees produce these fruits though. The tree occurs over large portions of South Africa.
