Sclerocarya comprises robust, deciduous trees adapted to arid environments. Its distinctive tough, grey bark and compound leaves are pivotal for survival in harsh conditions. Notably, sclerocarya bears small, yellowish flowers, leading to stone fruits that are both economically and ecologically vital, supporting local wildlife and human communities.
Water:
Sclerocarya thrives in dry conditions, being drought-tolerant and requiring minimal water. Water every three weeks, allowing soil to dry out between sessions. As an outdoor plant suited to arid climates, deep watering promotes strong root development and resilience during dry spells.
Propagation:
Propagation of sclerocarya is achieved through seed sowing and cuttings. Success relies on proper light, temperature, and well-draining soil. Important techniques include scarifying seeds and using rooting hormones for cuttings. Maintain consistent moisture and warmth for optimal growth.
