Waar u de Russet Bushwillow in Zuid-Afrika ziet

Hosts on Spekboom have recorded the Russet Bushwillow at stays in or beside Kruger National Park, Sabi Sand Game Reserve and Welgevonden Game Reserve. 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 Russet Bushwillow is most recorded in Mpumalanga (45% of records), Limpopo (40% of records), North West (13% of records), based on 833 iNaturalist observations. 28 places to stay on Spekboom in South Africa have recorded the Russet Bushwillow on site or nearby.

The Russet Bushwillow 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. Kruger National Park: Apr-Sep; Sabi Sand Game Reserve: year-round, dry season May-Sep optimal; Welgevonden Game Reserve: May-Sep, dry season. In the dry months animals concentrate at water and the grass is short.

Combretum hereroense, commonly known as the russet bushwillow and the mouse-eared combretum, is a deciduous shrub or small tree that is found from eastern Africa to northern South Africa. Over its extensive range it is variable with respect to leaf shape, fruit size and indumentum.
