BLACK CHACATE

BLACK CHACATE

Botanical name is Guibourtia conjugate, also known as the Tsotso tree, or the small false Mopane tree.

Black Chacate grows in forests along the banks of the Limpopo River and in the Mpumalanga Province. It is also found in neighbouring southern African countries such as Mozambique, Zimbabwe and Zambia.

It is used for making musical instruments like guitars and clarinets.

It has a wonderfully dark colour with a fine grain.

Wild Peach

Botanical name is Kiggelaria africana.

The Wild Peach is widely distributed in Africa, from the Western Cape all the way to Kenya. It has smooth pale grey bark and variable shaped leaves that may resemble those of the peach tree.

It was once used for the spokes of wagon wheels, but it is a useful general-purpose timber and is still used for beams, floorboards and furniture.

RED IVORY WOOD

Botanical name is Berchemia zeyheri.

This tree is indigenous to Southern Africa and the wood is highly prized for its beautiful pink to red colour. It is found in Zimbabwe, Mozambique and South Africa, from the Limpopo area down to the Eastern Cape. The tasty fruit is a great source of food not only for the people in the area, but also for many animals and birds. The leaves are browsed by giraffes and several species of buck.

This hard and precious wood is used for making furniture, walking sticks and even fencing posts in some areas. The bark of the tree is used to dye fabric and the powered bark has been used as a cure for headaches.

SILVER TREE

These iconic giant proteas with their light refractory silver leaves grow predominantly on the eastern slopes of Table Mountain and are unique to the Cape Peninsula. Unless sufficient care is taken to protect them, these trees are in danger of going extinct in the wild in the next 50 years.

The leaves appear silver-grey because they are covered on both surfaces with thousands of tiny soft silvery hairs, which give it its characteristic silver sheen.

The Silver tree is fast-growing but short-lived and seldom survives longer than 20 years. In the 17th and 18th centuries it was used extensively for firewood. Thankfully, it is now a protected tree.
