Rhus dentata, Nana Berry (English), Nanabessie (Afrikaans) is a medium sized, deciduous tree, reaching a height of about 5 metres and a spread of 4 metres. It occurs naturally in almost the whole of South Africa except the Western and Northern Cape Provinces. Its habitat varies from sea level to the highlands of the Drakensburg Mountain Range. It is frost hardy and should be planted in full sun.The leaves are usually conspicuously toothed (hence the name dentata), though sometimes they may be only slightly toothed. The tree produces small, creamy-white flowers in masses, which turn into small berries which turn red, orange or brown when ripe. The berries attract birds who feed on them.
