No 4: Natal Mahogany (Trichilia emetica)
The Natal Mahogany has an unmistakably subtropical aura around it. It speaks of Lowveld heat and humidity, and warm summer rain. Perhaps it’s because of the lush, deep green, wide-spreading crown, so evident in our town’s prime specimen on the traffic island at the intersection of Berg River Boulevard and Market Street. Perhaps it’s the lure of the dense shade, reputedly one of the densest of all indigenous trees, on a scorching midsummer’s day. Whatever the case, it is not surprising to learn that the tree’s natural habitat extends from Mpumalanga’s Lowveld northward and eastward into Zimbabwe and Mozambique and southward to kwaZulu-Natal.
