Fruit

The Moroccan Argan Tree (Argania spinosa) is a slow-growing but resilient evergreen native to southwestern Morocco. Known worldwide for argan oil — extracted from its fruit kernels — the tree also makes a striking ornamental when grown in gardens or landscapes. Once established, it tolerates drought and poor soils, making it ideal for arid or temperate climates. From seed, gardeners can cultivate this culturally and economically important tree, nurturing it from sapling to mature fruit-bearing specimen over several years.
