Africa Wild

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

I don't think it's a Leadwood

What is your answer, Klippies?

Where exactly is it?

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

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

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
