Mbola

Mbola, scientifically known as Parinari curatellifolia, is a medium to heavy-clay soil-loving tree that thrives in moist and wet environments under full sun. Native to Angola, Benin, Burkina Faso, Burundi, Cameroon, Caprivi Strip, Central African Republic, Chad, and other parts of Africa, this versatile plant is valued for its edible fruit and seeds. Standing up to 15 meters tall, Mbola can be found across a wide range of countries in sub-Saharan Africa, from Senegal and Ghana to Tanzania and Zimbabwe. Its adaptability to various climates makes it a notable presence in the landscape, contributing both ornamental value and sustenance through its edible parts.
