… is my favourite tree on Thanda Safari. It produces very beautiful red flowers. It gets its name from two facts. One, is that it produces so much nectar that it drips out of the tree (=weeping). Two, the early white settlers in South Africa (also called the Boers) used the seeds from the tree to roast a replacement for coffee (= boer bean). Not only birds love this tree, with its ample food supply, but Elephants also enjoy the fresh growths. And the Zulu people find that a tee brewed from its bark is the perfect cure for or a hang-over!
