{{stub}}[[File:Ziziphus xylopyrus AJTJ DSCN0180.jpg|thumb|right]]'''Ziziphus abyssinica''' is a fiercely thorny, semideciduous plant, varying in habit from an erect shrub; a scrambling plant that clambers into other vegetation for support; or a tree with drooping branches that form a heavy, rounded crown. It usually grows from 3 - 12 metres tall. The bole is usually straight. The plant is harvested from the wild as a local source of food, medicines and other materials. It is sometimes cultivated as a stock-proof hedge.
