About: 100 Bushveld Trees

The trouble with trees is that there are so many of them that trying to identify specimens can be daunting. Like charismatic mammals, their size makes them intriguing, and stately old specimens that may have been there for centuries demand our respect. We are sometimes captivated by details such as the seed pods strewn beneath them, or the jagged edges or curious scent of their leaves. Majestic or otherwise significant trees can even populate our memories of the bush, becoming characters rather than simply being part of the ecology. But how to name them all? 100 Bushveld Trees shows you that, once you've taken in the simple identification guide, trees are easier to distinguish and identify than you thought. 100 Bushveld Trees introduces to memorable trees found across the northern and eastern regions of South Africa, encompassing both the Highveld and the Lowveld.
