Celtis mildbraedii is a forest tree belonging to the Cannabaceae family, previously classified under Ulmaceae. It is found in limited areas of South Africa, Mozambique, Zimbabwe, and other parts of Africa. This species is commonly known as natal white stinkwood, red-fruited white-stinkwood, and natal elm. It is more prevalent in Tropical Africa than in Southern Africa. In South Africa, it is mostly found in Pigeon Valley Natural Heritage Park and Ilanda Wilds Nature Reserve. The fruit of this tree turns red when ripe, but viable seeds are hard to come by. Despite its rarity in South Africa, it is not being propagated by plant nurseries. In Ghana, it is a dominant species in moist semi-deciduous forests and is commonly found in Ajenjua Bepo and Mamang River Forest Reserves. In Uganda, it is used for timber and is a food source for primates in Budongo Forest Reserve. A study in Uganda showed a healthy regeneration pattern for this species.
