Making the most of Indigenous Trees Eine sehr interessante, praxisbezogene und detailreiche Beschreibung von 144 südafrikanischer Baumarten, die ursprünglich - sehr erfolgreich - im Farmer’s Weekly Magazine erschien.


Description:

Making the Most of Indigenous Trees is undoubtedly the most significant, useful and practical book ever to be published on this subject in South Africa.

It is based on a highly successful series that ran in Farmer’s Weekly magazine and was prompted by requests from hundreds of readers for the information in book form.

This new edition features seven additional tree species and a more accessible arrangement of trees according to their botanical name. More than 140 indigenous trees are discussed in detail with the following information provided for each tree:

• A detailed species description, diagnostic features, flowering and fruiting periods, natural distribution and habitat

• The ecological role and utilisation by mammals, birds and insects

• Economic value and use by people, including use in gardens and on the farm, as a source of food for humans and animals, fibre and medicine

• Properties of the wood and its utilisation by people

• Specific guidelines on propagation and cultivation of each species

• A map indicating the distribution in South Africa. Swaziland and Lesotho is given for each species

• More than 750 carefully selected colour photographs complement and illustrate the text

• The book also includes an introductory section on tree propagation by seed, cuttings and truncheons, a table on the utilisation of indigenous trees by wildlife, references for further reading and an index to the common and botanical names.

Introduction:

All the trees of the fields shall clap their hands (Isaiah 55 v. 12)

Trees have been part of man's environment since his beginnings. They have many functions and are essential to our existence. Many of us take trees for granted, not always appreciating the vital role they play by bearing fruit, providing nesting sites for birds, shade and shelter for insects, birds and other animals, by rendering material for the manufacture of goods such as paper and furniture, and by supplying the very oxygen we breathe.

Trees are not only functional, but also aesthetically pleasing to the eye. Visualise a landscape devoid of trees! What is a tree? It can be defined as a woody plant, usually with a single stem, which can grow to a height of 6 m or more.

It has been said that were it not for the ever-increasing human population and the subsequent scramble for more land, there would have been many more trees and vastly greater areas of forest left on earth. Every minute, 24 hectares of rainforest are being destroyed worldwide - and man is simply not replanting trees fast enough to cancel out this frightening statistic. Also here in South Africa our very rich and varied indigenous tree flora is being rapidly depleted.

The purpose of this book is to introduce the reader, tree lover and unseasoned enthusiast alike to some of our indigenous tree species and in so doing, cultivate in them a love and appreciation for our trees. Furthermore, we hope to encourage the propagation and use of these trees in gardens, farms, parks, game farms and on other private and public land.

The book is also aimed at dispelling some of those 'mythstakes' (myths and mistakes!) firmly established in the minds of some gardeners and farmers, for example the beliefs that indigenous trees grow very slowly, that indigenous plants do not require water or compost and that they need very poor, sandy soil.

These ‘mythstakes’ could be responsible for the wariness with which many people view indigenous trees as garden subjects. However, there certainly is an awakening to the use of our indigenous flora, and growers and nurserymen are now beginning to see its merits. It is our wish that this awakening takes on massive proportions and our indigenous tree species become better known, loved and more widely available.

What role do you play in the conservation of this wealth of tree flora? By propagating and using our indigenous tree species, you can help to ensure their continued existence.

The book has been written with the layperson in mind; botanical terms have been kept to the minimum and were used only where absolutely necessary to ensure correctness. The 144 tree species described in the book are listed alphabetically according to the botanical name. We hope that this will encourage readers to learn and use these names, as the botanical name is the only name by which a tree can be accurately identified.

The English common name is given along with the Afrikaans, Zulu and Northern Sotho common names. Tracing and verifying common names in all eleven official languages would be a mammoth task and after careful consideration it was decided to list only these three.

The botanical names were taken from Plants of southern Africa: names and distribution (Arnold & De Wet, 1993). A botanical name is made up of two parts, i.e. the genus name followed by the specific epithet. In the case of the botanical name of the sweet thorn, the genus name is Acacia and it is followed by the specific name karroo, to give Acacia karroo.

Although these names sometimes seem a mouthful to the layperson, the scientific name prevents the confusion caused by the many and varied common names often given to the same species in different regions and in different languages.

A good example is 'tree fuchsia', a common name applied to both Schotia brachypetala and Halleria lucida. In an attempt to avoid the confusion, a standardised list of common names has been published, the Pocket List of Southern African Indigenous Trees (Von Breitenbach, 1986, 2001). The English and Afrikaans names have been taken from this work. The South African tree number is also listed for each species.

Mention is also made of the family to which a particular species belongs. Genera that have certain important characters in common belong to the same family. For example, the genera Acacia and Albizia both belong to the Fabaceae, the pod-bearing family.

Where information is available, mention is made of the medicinal uses and edibility of the various species. Some have been tried and tested by the authors, others not, but no claims are made as to their effectiveness. Indiscriminate use of these medicines could prove fatal and readers are therefore advised to refrain from experimenting.

Finally, it is our wish that this book not only finds its way to the coffee table collection, but that it also proves to be a most useful tool in the hands of the tree-lover, enthusiast and student.


Example:

Sclerocarya birrea subsp. caffra

Marula

Maroela, morula (NS), umganu (Z) Family Mango Family (Anacardiaceae)
SA No. 360

Name derivation: Sclerocarya = hard nut, birrea = 'birr', the common name for the tree in Senegal, and caffra = from Kaffraria (Eastern Cape).

Description:

A deciduous tree up to 18 m tall with a round to spreading crown. Bark on young branches smooth and grey with prominent scars formed by the dropped leaves, but grey and flaking in patches on older branches and stems.

Leaves unevenly compound with 7-13 pairs of leaflets plus a terminal one, crowded near the ends of branches, young leaves mostly toothed. Flowers in 50-80 mm long sprays, with sexes on separate trees, flowers yellow tinged red. Fruit fleshy, spherical and 30-35 mm in diameter, yellow when mature with a white clinging flesh and a large stone.

Wood light reddish brown to whitish, with no definite heartwood, soft, light (air-dry 560 kg/m3), susceptible to borer attack.

Diagnostic features: Deciduous; roundish canopy; flaking bark; unevenly compound leaves with 7-13 leaflets and a terminal leaflet, crowded near the ends of branches; male and female flowers separate; fruit fleshy, yellow.

Flowering: from September to November.

Fruiting: from January to March.

Distribution: From Ethiopia in the north to KwaZulu-Natal in the south.

Habitat: Grows in various types of woodland on sand to sandy loam.

Economic value: Cattle and game utilise the fruit, leaves and even the bark. Meyer's parrots feed on the kernels of green fruit. The wood is used for furniture and, to a lesser extent, panelling. A popular wood for carvings and household articles. The fruit analysis (after Quinn, 1959 & Wehmeyer, 1967) is as follows:

Average mass: 17.99 g
Skin: 41%
Seed: 52.51%
Edible flesh: 6.47%
Vitamin C: 67.9 mg / 100 g
Calcium: 6.2 mg / 100 g
Magnesium: 10.5 mg / 100 g
Phosphorus: 8.7 mg / 100 g
Potassium: 54.8 mg / 100 g
Fructose: 0.97 g / 100 ml
Glucose: 0.75 g / 100 ml
Sucrose: 5.95 g / 100 ml

Jelly and jam can be made from the fruit. It produces a good-quality semi-sweet and sweet wine, port, beer, juice and nectar. Each seed contains two or three edible nuts. Oil (56.2%) can be pressed from these and used as a preservative. The nuts can be eaten raw or roasted and are rich in oil and protein (28%).

It can be used most successfully as a shade tree in the garden or park and as a street tree. The improved strains of the marula can be planted in an orchard set-up for the commercial production of fruit. Plant young plants or truncheons in scattered groups of 5-10 individuals in camps to serve as shelter, browsing and food source.

Other uses: A decoction of the bark is taken to treat dysentery and diarrhoea and prophyllactically for malaria. A brandy tincture of the bark is taken in small doses as a prophylactic against malaria. The moist inner bark shows an antihistaminic action against insect bites and the burns of hairy caterpillars. The skin of the fruit can be boiled in water to make a drink; it is also burnt and used either as a substitute for coffee or as a snuff. Burns and abscesses are treated with an essence made from the leaves. A relatively good-quality rope can be made from the inner bark.

Cultivation: Easily raised from seed. Plant seed directly into black nursery bags filled with river sand and keep in the shade until seedlings appear. Truncheons of 100-150 mm in diameter and 2 m long can be planted in early spring. The marula is drought-resistant but young trees are frost-sensitive. It is one of the fastest growing trees in South Africa with a growth rate of up to 1.5 m per year.
