The species has significant cultural and medicinal value. The bark is used to treat fever in children, urinary inflammation, and gastrointestinal issues such as diarrhea and stomach aches (1, 2, 3). Roots, bark, leaves, and gum are employed in treating gonorrhoea, bilharzia, syphilis, colds, coughs, rheumatism, haemorrhage, kidney problems, ophthalmia, and tapeworm (1, 2, 3). The pods are emollient, and a decoction of the root is also used for urethral issues, dropsy, and acne (3). The tree is often used for placing bee hives as its flowers are good as bee forage (4). The bark provides fiber for cordage and bead stringing, while the gum is edible and serves as an adhesive and ink ingredient (2, 3). Other uses of this tree include use for shade, fencing, and windbreaks (1, 2, 3). Leaves contain prussic acid, particularly when wilted, and can be lethal to cattle (1, 3, 4).
