Quiver Tree Forest (or Kokerboom Woud) near Nieuwoudtville on Gannabos, a private farm owned by Merwe and Liezel van Wyk. The quiver tree, Aloe dichotoma, grows to some 20' tall and blooms from May to July. It is a somewhat smaller version of the extremely rare Aloe pillansii which grows in the Richtersveld and southern Namibia. It is called quiver tree because the bushmen use it to make quivers. |
