Publisher's Synopsis
From the majestic yellowwoods of the Knysna forests to the strange halfmens of the Karoo and the delicately beautiful flowering tree fuchsia and wild gardenias, trees are one of our most valuable national treasures. Trees not only provide us with food, fodder, building material and shelter to man and beast against the extremes of the weather, they bring beauty and joy to our parks and gardens. Remarkable trees gives the reader a glimpse into the world of trees - from the biggest to the tallest to the oldest trees in South Africa.
