Known as choje to the indigenous San people, the quiver tree gets its English common name from the San people practice of hollowing out the tubular branches of Aloidendron dichotomum to form quivers for their arrows
Ek is ook mal oor die kokerbome. Het die in Namibia gesien toe ons die kokerboom woud gaan besoek het. Op pad terug huis toe het ons n draai deur Namakwaland gery. Het my hart daar verloor! 😍

I love the aquarium and quiver tree particularly. Does the tree quiver as its name suggests?

Ek is mal oor kokerbome – en verstom oor hoe dit in ‘n droe klimaat groei en floreer! En natuurlik hou ek baie van jou Namakwaland foto (my wereld 😊).
