Where is this tree? (QM)

G@mespotter · Kruger 22 April - 2 May 2011

Hi all

I decided to create a new, different kind of quiz... Basically meant to learn people more about the bush in Kruger, more specifically trees. Also aimed at testing the ability to remember detail..... :twisted:

I'm afraid this quiz is meant for the absolute Kruger fanatics who have been to Kruger VERY often and start recognizing trees as landmarks :whistle:

Specific trees are indeed landmarks in Kruger, and I thought it might just be fun to single out a few.

You HAVE to state (1) what type of tree it is (even if it's merely a tree stem) and more or less (2) where. If at a waterhole / dam, be specific, if just randomly along a road more of less the area.

This quiz is for all of us to learn.. I'm BY NO MEANS a tree expert, so I will quickly check what type of tree it is when I confirm the location. Suspect there will be instances where I'm wrong, then please help me out. I want to learn as well

I will only comment every 36 hours or so, so have patience in order to allow people to think / do some research.

NB: Surroundings, the type of tree and vegetation around might help you to identify a specific tree in Kruger. Please refrain from participating in this quiz when you do not see the point of it. It's kind of a test

To start off easy :thumbs_up:

Ficus sycomorus ?
S50 , east of Shingwedzi ?

Ok seems a little bit difficult... :roll:

Tree guess is correct, it is a Sycamore fig (Ficus Sycomorus). Wrong place Forest gump. To the right is a small pool (waterhole) which is along a small loop in central Kruger. VERY popular small waterhole along a dust road loop....

It looks kind of like one of the small loops on the S100, but I don't think that's it.

No - a rather elephant damaged leadwood ?
