This tree grows spontaneously on the vast, hot and arid plateaus in sub-equatorial

Africa; its botanical name is Sclerocarya birrea, yet it is commonly known as Marula.

The Marula tree belongs to the Anacardiaceae family.

This tree can reach a height of 10 metres it can even grow up to 15 metres.

Once its fruit is ripe, it contains an extremely tender part enclosing a very hard

kernel.

The fruit is used in the preparation of beverages, while the bark of the tree is used

in popular medicine and in the preparation of potions to cure high temperatures

and malaria; it is also used as an adjuvant treatment for injuries and burns.

This highly-prized oil widely used in the cosmetics sector is extracted from the

Marula seeds.
