Now we need a name for it.

The Mphongolo loop is for the most part in ecozone M and we are on the river bank. Here is the short list:

(The small shrub on the base is also listed there - this is a task for the advanced tree spotters lol )

Not Ebony jackal-berry, Lisbeth


Your tree branches low at the base (that's why some look multitrunked) and some leaves grow directly from the trunk or large branches, the trunk is very thick!

Here is the other one from your Mphongolo trip

When you look up the various trees on the Internet it is difficult to make a comparison, or they are too young or the pic is taken from afar or the leaves are wrong 0*\ I'll have another try tomorrow \O
