Gyrocarpus americanus subsp. africanus (helicopter tree)

Gyrocarpus americanus subsp. africanus (helicopter tree) grows up to 15 meters high.
Gyrocarpus americanus subsp. africanus occurs in hot, dry areas at low altitudes, on rocky ridges or stony slopes. In South Africa, it occurs in the north of the Limpopo province; it is also found in Namibia and Zimbabwe and north to Tanzania, Kenya and Eritrea.
This tree is not fire-resistant and does not tolerate periodic waterlogging. The fruits break off the tree when ripe and are scattered by the wind; the wings turn and carry them through the air like a helicopter, hence the common name.
Hardiness zone: Approx. 10
