Spekboom is small leafed succulents found throughout South Africa. Not only are they favoured for their unique shape, but Spekboom are also edible! Some make soup from them, others add them to salads, and most recently, gin is being made with their tangy, green leaves.
Perhaps best to leave Spekboom to its ornamental qualities, by introducing it into a bright-light spot within your home. It will reward you with a beautiful evergreen display all year round.
Please note: There are different varieties of Spekboom and the one which we will send to you may differ from the ones pictured here.
