Of considerable importance as a source of income for some local communities in southern Africa. It is an attractive, drought- and frost-resistant tree or shrub.
Dovyalis caffra can be cultivated as a border or a screen, or used to form an impenetrable hedge around a garden to keep unwanted animals and people out. It will grow well in either full sun or light shade, and will also need regular trimming in order to maintain a good hedge. The leaves are used as fodder (bulk feed for livestock). The fruits are edible, and make excellent jam.
