Parinari is a genus known for its broad, leathery leaves and sturdy, grey-barked trunk. These trees flourish in tropical climates, adapting well to both wet and dry habitats. The fruits, typically covered in a tough, hairy skin, are prized by local wildlife. Their robust roots help them thrive in varied soil conditions, stabilizing the plant and enriching the surrounding ecosystem.
Propagation:
Propagation of parinari primarily uses seed sowing due to difficulties with cuttings. Success depends on warm temperatures (25–30°C), high humidity, and fertile, well-draining soil. Key steps include scarifying seeds, maintaining moisture without waterlogging, providing indirect light, and transplanting sturdy seedlings.
