There are not too many options for a tall tree with light grey bark

I don't think it's a Leadwood

[Richprins]

What is your answer, Klippies?

[Flutterby]

Where exactly is it?

[Richprins]

About a third of the way down the New Road S147!

[Richprins]

Ok, we are sticking with Bushveld Bead-Bean Maerua angolensis for the time being, best guess of Dr Joubert and Dr Zambatis for the moment...

I hope they hurry up so we can continue!

The leaves do not look quite right

[Richprins]

Must wait for Flutts, or Dr Zambatis to go and look next week...he can climb the tree if he wants to!

Very good match, I think!

Smooth grey bark, leave shape is very variable, but they are dark, the shape of the crown is rounded and a bit untidy and it can grow tall in moist conditions.

And it's a species that occurs in ecozone K

Well done doctors

You sure know a lot of things, Klippie
