Lucky Bean Erythrina lysistemon is an African wonder tree that fertilises the soil, helps farmers time their planting with the appearance of the stunning red blossoms in Spring, makes live barbed fencing, provides black and red seeds for jewellery… As well as these uses, every part of the plant provides sustenance: the flowers give nectar to birds and bees, the leaves are eaten by creatures from rhinos to kudu, the flower buds are relished by vervet monkeys, and the bark is consumed by elephants and baboons.

Where this comes from

The part other shops don't tell you. Three separate questions, kept separate on purpose, each with its source.

UK company
Registered at Companies House as NEWTON PAISLEY LTD, number 09611585. Checked 2026-08-29.
Means the business is a British legal entity, not a British-sounding name owned elsewhere. It says nothing about where anything is made.
UK operations
Not yet checked.
Means people employed here, or premises they actually work from. We keep this separate from the company badge because a registered office can be an accountant's spare room, and a company can be registered in Britain while everything it does happens somewhere else. Where we have not looked, we say so rather than assuming.
British-owned
Not established. Many companies file a statement rather than naming a controlling shareholder.
Read from the register of people with significant control, following the chain of holding companies. It does not gate anything: a firm can be made here and owned elsewhere, and that is worth telling you rather than hiding.
Where it is made
The maker doesn't say, so neither do we.
This is about the individual product, not the company. A British firm can sell things made abroad, which is normal and not a criticism. We would rather tell you which is which than average them into a score.
