Vitex keniensis
Meru oak is a large, straight-trunked tree native only to Kenya, valued for durable wood and now rare from overharvesting. It is best treated as a tall outdoor specimen tree in warm, frost-free climates, not a container plant.
Vitex keniensis (also called Meru oak) is a species of plant in the family Lamiaceae.
It is endemic to Kenya.
