Abstract:

Prunus africana is an important tree that provides timber, medicine, fuel wood, poles, bee forage, mulch, shade and windbreak.
It is easily propagated through seed and is currently regarded as one of the high value tree species because of the multiple uses.
It is in light of these attributes that research has identified this species as one of the most important indigenous tree species with potential for agroforestry.
