One of the African giants. Growing in alluvial soils from desert to tropics. Crosses the Sahel into Israel. Surprisingly, it loses it leaves in the wet season. Here,it flushes and flowers in late summer and is browsed by game throughout our dry Winter(by those that can reach high enough). The seed pods are said to be highly nutritious. Desert elephant do their famous hind leg stands to reach the pods.
