Schotia brachypetala

provided by wikipedia EN

Pods and seeds

Schotia brachypetala, the weeping boer-bean, is a leguminous flowering tree in the family Fabaceae (bean family/pod-bearing family/legumes) and the subfamily Detarioideae. The woodland tree is native to Africa south of the Zambezi River, where it occurs at middle altitudes. It is well-suited as shade or ornamental tree in warmer regions, and is consequently widely cultivated in gardens and parks. It is named for the copious nectar that drips from its flowers, which attracts various species of birds and insects. It is known by various other names, including tree fuchsia, African greenheart and African walnut.

Habit

A medium to large, spreading tree, growing up to 20 metres, but more commonly from 5 to 10 metres depending on conditions. Canopy spread can vary between 5 and 15 metres. Trees grown in poor soil or in very dry conditions tend to be smaller (about 5 metres tall with a 5-metre canopy spread) and more sparsely foliated. Trunk form varies from specimens with single trunks to low-branching specimens with multiple trunks. Leaves are compound, composed of four to eight pairs of leaflets. Each has an entire, wavy margin and is attached by a stem to the rachis. The bark is smooth and varies from grey to light brown from tree to tree. Flowers are numerous, a deep red, and filled with nectar. Flowers generally appear in spring, although exact flowering times vary from tree to tree. The fruit is a hard, woody pod about 15 cm long that splits on the tree releasing the seeds, each attached by a yellow aril.

Distribution

A native of the southern parts of Africa, mainly sub-tropical. Its northernmost extent is the Mashonaland escarpment just south of the Zambezi valley in Zimbabwe at about 17°S. It grows southwards to the eastern parts of South Africa, generally not near the coast but usually on hills away from the coastal winds and further inland. Its southernmost extent is southwest of East London in the Eastern Cape of South Africa at about 33°S. It is a tree of woodland rather than forest.

Ecology

The weeping boer-bean is nowhere very common but is usually scattered among other more dominant woodland trees. It grows best when there is ample summer rain and prefers a notable cool spell during its winter resting period. In Zimbabwe it is widespread at altitudes over 1,200 metres in areas with more than 700 mm annual rainfall, usually in Brachystegia woodland, while the best specimens grow in the midlands of Kwazulu-Natal at an altitude of about 900–1,200 metres.

Inland it is usually deciduous, especially where the winter season is very dry or there is risk of frost. The tree gets its new leaves in spring, usually early to mid-September. The new leaves are a very showy bright red as with many savanna trees. The red foliage colour fades through bronze to dark green over a period of 7 to 10 days. The red flowers are produced straight after the new leaves during September and October and are very attractive to bees. They sometimes produce so much nectar that it drips from the flowers. The "weeping" label in some of its common names refers to the copious quantities of nectar that may rain from the flowers when shaken rather than a tendency of the foliage to "weep" or "droop".

Cultivation

The weeping boer-bean is easily grown, and is remarkably hardy in both poor soil and very dry conditions. Adverse conditions will affect the growth rate, with poor conditions considerably slowing the speed of growth. In good quality, well-drained soil with plenty of moisture the tree grows very quickly, easily reaching 5 metres within a few years. It is fairly widely cultivated outside its natural range in warm temperate and subtropical climates, particularly in Australia, where it is a common street tree. It has been planted also in Spain.[1]

Schotia brachypetala ( Spanish; Castilian )

provided by wikipedia ES

Schotia brachypetala: schotia llorona ("weeping schotia") es una especie fanerógama de árbol de la familia Fabaceae (de las legumbres) y en la subfamilia Caesalpinioideae. Tiene muchos nombres comunes, incluyendo: árbol loro ("parrot tree"), árbol loro borracho ("drunken parrot tree"), "weeping boerbean", "Huilboerboon", árbol fucsia ("tree fuchsia"), y nogal africano ("African walnut").

Hábito

Es un árbol de mediano a grande, extendido, crece hasta 20 metros, pero más comúnmente de 5 a 10 metros dependiendo de las condiciones. La extensión de la copa puede variar entre 5 y 15 metros. Los árboles que crecen en suelos pobres o en condiciones muy secas tienden a ser más pequeños (aproximadamente 5 m de alto con una extensión de la copa de 5 m) y con el follaje más espeso. La forma del tronco varía de los especímenes con un único tronco hasta los ejemplares de ramas bajas con troncos múltiples. Las hojas son compuestas, consistentes de cuatro a ocho pares de foliolos, cada uno con un margen entero, ondulado unido al tallo. La corteza es lisa y varía del gris al café claro de árbol a árbol. Las flores son numerosas, de rojo profundo, y llenas de néctar. Las flores generalmente aparecen en primavera, sin embargo las épocas exactas de floración varían de árbol en árbol. El fruto es una vaina leñosa dura pequeña que se divide en el árbol liberando la semilla contenida adentro.

Distribución

Es nativo de las partes meridionales de África, principalmente en regiones subtropicales. Su punto más septentrional es en el límite de la meseta de Mashonaland justo al sur del valle Zambeze en Zimbabue aproximadamente a 17°S. Crece hacia el sur hacia las partes orientales de Sudáfrica, generalmente no cerca de la costa pero usualmente en colinas lejos de los vientos costeros y más al interior. Su punto más austral es al suroeste de East London en la Provincia Oriental del Cabo en Sudáfrica a aproximadamente 33°S. Es un árbol de bosque abierto más de que de bosque espeso.

Ecología

La schotia llorona es común pero está usualmente dispersa entre otros árboles dominantes del bosque. Crece mejor cuando hay abundante lluvia de verano y prefiere una marcada ola fresca durante su período de descanso de invierno. En Zimbabue está distribuida en altitudes sobre los 1200 msnm en áreas con más de 700 mm de lluvias anuales, usualmente en bosques de Brachystegia, mientras los mejores especímenes crecen en las tierras de mediana altura de KwaZulu-Natal a una altitud de aproximadamente 900 - 1200 metros. Tierra adentro es usualmente caducifolio, especialmente donde la estación de invierno es muy seca o hay riesgo de heladas. El árbol obtiene sus nuevas hojas en primavera, usualmente de principios a mediados de septiembre. Las nuevas hojas son rojas brillosas muy vistosas como con muchos árboles de la sabana. El color rojo se descolora pasando por el bronce al verde oscuro en un período de 7–10 días. Las flores rojas se producen después de que nacen las nuevas hojas durante septiembre y octubre y son muy atractivas para las abejas. A veces producen tanto que gotean fuera de las flores.

Nombres alternativos

 src=
Flores del árbol loro borracho.

El nombre común de árbol loro deriva de los grandes números de loros atraídos al árbol durante la temporada de floración. El nombre común de árbol loro borracho deriva del hecho de que las flores individuales contienen tanto néctar que tienen la tendencia a fermentarse antes de que las aves puedan comerlo todo, resultando en un ligero efecto narcótico en las aves. La etiqueta "llorón" en algunos de sus nombres comunes se refiere a las copiosas cantidades de néctar que pueden gotear fuera de las flores envés de una tendencia del follaje a "derramarse" o "inclinarse".

Cultivo

Schotia es un árbol fácil de cultivar, y es remarcablemente resistente tanto en suelos pobres como en condiciones muy secas. Las condiciones adversas afectan en el ritmo de crecimiento, en condiciones pobres reduciendo considerablemente la velocidad de crecimiento. En suelos de buena calidad, bien drenados, con abundancia de humedad el árbol crece muy rápidamente, alcanzando 5 metros en unos pocos años. Está en realidad ampliamente cultivado fuera de su rango natural en climas subtropicales y de clima templado con inviernos suaves, particularmente en Australia, donde es un árbol común de calle. También se le ha plantado en España[2]
