Cussonia paniculaya is a single-stemmed, high-branching, evergreen tree 3-5 metres high, with hand-shaped leaves forming a rounded crown on the ends of thick, stubby branchlets. Can be trimmed to keep compact. Flowers are aggregated in a branched panicle of spikes, greenish yellow. The fruit is a globose, fleshy drupe the size of a pea, purple. This plant is considered a pachycaul succulent on the basis of its swollen stem base or tuber which forms early in plants grown from seed. Normally this plant does not make caudex when it is adult, only when it is small.
Comes in a 60mm pot.
