Beautiful Five Trees/Shrubs - Flora that pulls at your heart, reminds you how blessed we are to have it around.

* Baobab
* Aloe dichotoma, commonly known as the quiver tree (English) or kokerboom (Afrikaans)
* Umbrella thorn (Acacia tortillis)
* Leadwood (Combretum imberbe)
* Outeniqua Yellowwood trees (those that our "custodians" are harvesting for monetary value).

I'm not very clued up on trees but these are my favourites:

Wild Fig
Fever Tree
Baobab
Umbrella Thorn

My favourites are Baobab, Quiver tree, Sausage tree, Coral tree, Shepherd's tree.

Great favourites, Fluts and Toko. The sausage tree is special.

You like the sausage tree //\0-- It is special -O -O

This is a difficult one Poplap, depends on the time of year,and place.

Baobab, without its leaves in winter.
Fever trees, catching the afternoon sun.
Tall Lala palms, growing on islands in the swamps.
Jackalberries, offering shade alongside rivers.
Old Nyala trees, to picnic under at Pafuri.

My favorite 5 Kruger Trees are :

- Leadwood
- Knobthorn
- Baobab
- Mopani
and this one the Sjambok Pod/Sjambokpeul (Cassia abbreviata) . The bright yellow flowers bloom for 2 weeks in late August and add huge colour to drab winter foliage in Kruger at that time of the year. Kudu cant resist a good meal

Different angle. Very interesting
