Yes there is a great indigenous tree called Nandi flame (scientifically called Spathodea campanulata). It grows well in highlands, including Nairobi. Google the tree to see their beautiful flowers.


Asante sana. This is why I love wazua


Don't plant Nandi flame close to a house/houses. A whisper is good enough to take down a grown Nandi flame.

You might go to makueni before the extremely slow growing indigeneous species flower.

Nothing personal. Was just saying that some indigeneous species can take very very long to grow and flower.
