The White Milkwood tree is one of your best options for a dense shade or screen or windbreak tree along the coastal areas, because it can withstand quite extreme weather conditions. If you need an instant large tree, you will have to look at investing in a big one as these trees are extremely slow growing! They produce small white flowers that have a strong smell, followed by black berries that attract many birds. The older leaves often turn a red colour, which adds quite a nice touch of colour to the dense evergreen canopy. Home owners who need a natural firebreak can also consider planting the White Milkwood instead of cutting away the veld. A very versatile tree with a lot of history!
