Sausage Trees

A total of 9 pictures of trees in the genus Kigelia of the family Bignoniaceae, commonly referred to as sausage trees, are included in this gallery. The tree gets its name from its long fruit that resembles a sausage. Eating this fruit raw is poisonous to humans but has been used topically in traditional medicine to treat skin afflictions.
