Waar u de Real Yellowwood in Zuid-Afrika ziet

Hosts on Spekboom have recorded the Real Yellowwood at stays in or beside uKhahlamba-Drakensberg Park, Gondwana Game Reserve, Tsitsikamma National Park, Garden Route National Park, Giants Castle Game Reserve and Kamberg Nature Reserve and other reserves. A record means a host has seen it on the property or nearby, which makes these the places to base yourself; it is never a guarantee of a sighting on any given day.

The Real Yellowwood is most recorded in Western Cape (56% of records), KwaZulu-Natal (20% of records), Eastern Cape (9% of records), based on 2,300 iNaturalist observations. 17 places to stay on Spekboom in South Africa have recorded the Real Yellowwood on site or nearby.

The Real Yellowwood is recorded throughout the year, so no month is the wrong month to look for it. For the parks where hosts record it most, these are the best seasons they give. uKhahlamba-Drakensberg Park: year-round, dry season May-Sep; Gondwana Game Reserve: Sep-Apr, flowers Aug-Oct; Tsitsikamma National Park: Apr-Sep; Garden Route National Park: Sep-Apr, flowers Aug-Oct. In the dry months animals concentrate at water and the grass is short.

Podocarpus latifolius (broad-leaved yellowwood or real yellowwood, Afrikaans: Opregte-geelhout, Northern Sotho: Mogôbagôba, Xhosa: Umcheya, Zulu: Umkhoba) is a large evergreen tree up to 35 m high and 3 m trunk diameter, in the conifer family Podocarpaceae; it is the type species of the genus Podocarpus.
