Quiver trees , also known as kokerbooms , are a type of aloe that can be found in the deserts of Namibia and South Africa.
They are known for their unique appearance, which has led to them being called the "upside-down trees."
Quiver trees get their name from the fact that the San people used to hollow out their branches to make quivers for their arrows.
The trees are also used by other animals, such as elephants and giraffes, for food and shelter. In addition to their unique appearance, quiver trees are also known for their longevity.
Some trees have been estimated to be over 1,000 years old!
If you're ever in Namibia or South Africa, be sure to stop by and see a quiver tree for yourself.
You won't be disappointed!
