Origin to be documented
Maytenus procumbens, commonly known as the dune koko tree (Afrikaans: duinekokoboom), is a bushy shrub or small tree native to the coastal belt of southern and south-eastern South Africa, where it grows in coastal dune vegetation and wooded areas up to about 150 m (490 ft) above sea level. It typically grows as a dense, bushy plant with drooping branches that can extend over 6 m (20 ft). The bark is pale yellow-brown and may develop cracks as the plant ages. In winter, it produces clusters of greenish-white flowers, developing into fruits with bright orange seeds.
