Sterculia Africana (Bastard Baobab) (Mulele)

Grows up to 15m high. Leaves turn gold at end of rains and are shed in May-June. Flowers a green/yellow with red honey-guide lines, on bare tree. Very attractive to bees.

Timber is soft but can be used for furniture. Trees yield a gum.

Bark is used to make rope for house construction and mats.

Was earlier used to make gun powder for muzzle-loading guns.
