It belongs to the Anacardiaceae family and is known for its fruit, which is used to make the famous Amarula liqueur. The tree is deciduous and can grow up to 18 meters tall. It has a dormancy period during the dry season.
The Marula tree requires bright, direct sunlight and thrives in warm temperatures. It prefers moderate humidity and should be watered when the soil is almost completely dry. The tree is relatively hardy but does best in environments that mimic its native habitat.
