WE OFFER VERY RARE SEED-GROWN VOACANGA AFRICANA PLANTS FROM FRESH SEED WE IMPORT FROM CAMEROON. IT TAKES OVER A YEAR FOR THE PLANTS TO SPROUT AND GROW TO THIS SIZE. THEY ARE FINALLY GETTING TO THE POINT WHERE THEY WILL GROW QUICKLY IN GOOD CONDITIONS. ONCE THEY HAVE ACCLIMATED, YOU CAN REPOT THEM INTO A 1 GALLON POT WITH A FERTILE WELL-DRANING MIX.
Voacanga Africana is a tropical evergreen shrub native to West Africa. The genus of voacanga is closely related to that of Tabernanthe and Tabernaemontana, and it contains species that are primarily found in Africa and Asia. Growing to twenty feet in height, voacanga africana has dark green, glossy leaves and white to yellow flowers. The seeds form in yellow clusters inside a fruit, turning brown upon drying. Voacanga Africana seeds and bark have been traditionally used as a poison, a cerebral stimulant, an aphrodisiac, for memory recall and for ancestral contact. Modern interest has been aroused in voacanga’s ability to treat drug dependency. Unfortunately, reliable and detailed information on this plant is limited. However, we supplied seed utilized in the following research:
