TreeTuesday - Kiepersol Tree:

The Kiepersol tree is of the Cussonia genus. These trees are found in Southern and also tropical Africa. These trees are also know as cabbage trees.

As you can see on the photo above the tree is quite tall, with the leaves growing at the top of the tree, thus I could not get a nice close up photo of the leaves. The leaves are quite long with smaller leaves at the ends.

The bark is thick and very course with some moss growing on it. This tree has a very beautiful and unique look to it.

I hope you liked my post as much as I enjoyed writing it!!

The photos, were taken by me, with my iPhone, at a private motor museum in Benoni about 50km from Pretoria, South Africa. I will do a few more posts on the museum shortly.

I unfortunately don't know the age, but it looks old. These trees don't become very big and are slow growers.

I have seen this tree before just that I don't know it's name, but now that I know it name to be called Kiepersol tree I will keep that in mind. The photo of the tree looks beautiful and colorful as well
