Diospyros chamaethamnus
Diospyros chamaethamnus
Family: Ebenaceae
Cultivation
The plant has adapted to grow in areas where bush fires are common - sometimes every year - and it produces semi-woody rather than fully woody stems. These are often burnt down at the end of their first year's growth and so the plant produces a new flush of unbranched stems up to 30cm tall each year. If they are not burned down, then the stems increase in height to 45cm or more in their second year, when they sometimes also produce some side branches.
