I heard about the droughts you are experiencing over there and I hope the rainfall situation will improve for you very soon.
To answer your question about sausage trees (Kigelia africana) - they are native to tropical Africa and have huge sausage-like fruits which are a serious health hazard if you are walking underneath the tree when they fall!

(QUOTE Dennis Le Cornu Hi SausageTreeSlim - Sorry I have only just revisited this site and didn't realise that you had responded. How did the bottle tree go. Two weeks ago we had 6 consecutive days over 40 degrees, maxing at 46.5 and all the leaves burnt on my tree. As soon as the cool change came (30+ degrees) it resprouted new shoots and is looking fine. I dont think I would like to roll my swag out under one of those sausage trees.
Regards
Dennis.
