Naras Butterpips

Naras Butterpips (Acanthosicyos horridus) is a perennial plant native to Angola, Cape Provinces, and Namibia. Known for its light-loving nature, this hardy plant thrives in full sun and can tolerate both dry and moist conditions. It prefers well-drained soils that are either sandy or medium-textured and grows up to 1 meter tall. While primarily a decorative addition to arid landscapes due to its distinctive spiny branches, the Naras Butterpips is also valued for its edible fruit and seeds, making it a versatile plant in both native and cultivated settings.
