Forest Natal-mahogany Trichilia Dregeana

What is the plant

Native to southern Africa, the Forest Natal Mahogany (Trichilia dregeana) is found near riverbeds, shaded by the high trees of the tropical forest.While Natal Mahoganies definitely appreciate bright indirect light, they are one of the most low-light tolerant large indoor plants. We have found that they are an excellent choice for lower light spaces where you may want a bit of height. They also tend to adjust well to fluorescent light, so they are a great addition to an office. Keep in mind that they will not survive in no light.
