The whole tree is covered by dark brown to black hooked thorns that are paired. On the stem they are shorter and more rigid than on the branches. For this reason, the tree was named polycantha, which means many thorns. The subspecies name, campylacantha means curved thorns.

Every seed variety undergoes organic cultivation and self-testing on our South African, Botswanan, Zambian, and Tanzanian farms. Our commitment lies in offering a diverse selection of organically grown, open-pollinated, Non-GMO seeds, proudly produced and acclimated locally.

Before planting, please verify the conditions in your area suitable for the specific seed type. Growth rates and germination times hinge on various factors like soil conditions, rainfall/watering patterns, climate, and more. The outcome of growth and harvest may be influenced by these conditions.
