Mimusops zeyheri grows a dark canopy

Mature moepel leaves are dark green and leathery, growing densely and producing deep shade under the spreading crowns. Leaf midribs are creamy and conspicuous near the leaf bases, gradually becoming faint to invisible near the tips.

Leaf size varies from 4 cm to 11 cm in length by 2 cm to 5 cm in width (Coates Palgrave, 2002; Schmidt, et al, 2002; Van Wyk and Van Wyk, 1997; Pooley, 1993; Codd, 1951; iNaturalist).
