Why spekboom from here
These are plants grown out in real Garden Route weather, not pushed in a greenhouse — so they are already used to our sun, our wind and our rain. Spekboom is a water-wise indigenous succulent: it grows in full sun or half shade, needs very little watering once established, and it makes a dense hedge or an unkillable pot plant.
Questions people ask before buying
- How big is the plant I get? The potted spekboom is an established plant in a nursery bag, roughly knee height. If you need a specific size for a hedge, tell us the spacing you need and we’ll match it.
- How many do I need for a hedge? Roughly 60–80 cm apart. See the hedge spacing guide.
- Can I eat it? Yes — spekboom leaves are edible and mildly sour. What it tastes like and how much is safe.
- Will it survive frost or drought? Spekboom handles both once established. How cold is too cold.
