Catha Edulis : Khat Plants

Catha Edulis is a slow-growing shrub or tree that grows to between 1.5 metres and 20 metres tall, depending on region and rainfall, with evergreen leaves 5–10 cm long and 1–4 cm broad. The flowers are produced on short axillary cymes 4–8 cm long, each flower small, with five white petals. The fruit is an oblong three-valved capsule containing 1–3 seeds.

In Africa the attraction of Catha Edulis as a cash crop is enhanced by its tolerance of poor growing conditions and its resistance to disease and insect attack. Catha Edulis can be grown in a large range of climatic conditions.
