The Makalani Palm, scientifically known as Borassus aethiopum, is a species of palm tree that is native to Africa.
The tree can grow up to 20 meters tall and has a trunk diameter of up to 60 centimeters. The leaves of the Makalani Palm are used for thatching roofs and the fruit is eaten as a food source.
The tree grows best in tropical climates and is typically found near water sources such as rivers and lakes.
The best time to see the Makalani Palm is during the rainy season when the trees are in full bloom.
