Descripción
Quiver Tree Forest comprises about 250 specimens of Aloidendron dichotomum, a species that is also locally known as the quiver tree because the San people traditionally used its branches to make quivers. The forest has grown spontaneously. The tallest quiver trees are two to three centuries old. The forest was declared a national monument of Namibia in 1995. The Quiver Tree Forest holds tremendous ecological value within its native landscape. Bright yellow flowers bloom from June to July, when a huge variety of insects, birds, and mammals are drawn to the abundant nectar.
