• Umcozi (Syzygium cordatum)

  An evergreen tree reaching 8–15 meters in height, featuring a dark brown, rough, corky bark. Leaves are elliptic to circular, bluish-green on top and paler below. It produces white to pinkish fragrant flowers with numerous fluffy stamens, and red to dark-purple oval berries when ripe.

• Umhlala (Strychnos spinosa)

  A small deciduous tree or shrub, typically 1–7 meters tall, with rough, flaking bark. Branches often bear curved or straight spines. Leaves are opposite, elliptic to ovate, and may be hairy or hairless. Produces greenish-white flowers in dense heads, leading to large, round fruits that turn yellow upon ripening.
