Description
Mukau (Melia volkensii) is one of Kenya's most valuable indigenous timber trees, native to the drier regions of Eastern and Coastal Kenya. It grows quickly compared to most hardwoods, tolerates low rainfall once established, and produces durable, termite-resistant timber used for furniture, doors, and construction.
This seedling is nursery-raised in a poly bag, ready for transplanting.
