Some fun facts about the Red Ivory Tree

The fruit of the red ivorywood is sold in rural markets, especially in Limpopo, creating an important source of income. Furniture made from this tree is very strong and durable, and takes paint and varnish well. The wood is also good for making wooden bows, walking sticks, small boxes and curios. It is believed that in KwaZulu-Natal the tree was known as the royal tree because only chiefs were allowed to carry knob-kerries (a stick with a rounded knob on one end) made from it. The hard and strong wood is regarded as a precious timber in Mozambique, and it is also used for fencing poles. Fibres and woven materials are dyed with an extract made from the bark to give them a purplish colour. The powdered bark is also used to cure headaches when smoked, and an extract from the inner part of the tree is used to relieve back pain. (Extracted from pza.sanbi.org)
