Waar u de White Milkwood in Zuid-Afrika ziet

Hosts on Spekboom have recorded the White Milkwood at stays in or beside Table Mountain National Park, Gondwana Game Reserve, Hluhluwe-Imfolozi Park, Tsitsikamma National Park, Garden Route National Park and uMlalazi Nature 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 White Milkwood is most recorded in Western Cape (63% of records), Eastern Cape (29% of records), KwaZulu-Natal (7% of records), based on 5,295 iNaturalist observations. 14 places to stay on Spekboom in South Africa have recorded the White Milkwood on site or nearby.

The White Milkwood 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. Table Mountain National Park: Sep-Apr, flowers Aug-Oct; Gondwana Game Reserve: Sep-Apr, flowers Aug-Oct; Hluhluwe-Imfolozi Park: year-round, dry season May-Sep; Tsitsikamma National Park: Apr-Sep. In the dry months animals concentrate at water and the grass is short.

Sideroxylon inerme subsp. inerme (aMasethole or white milkwood, Afrikaans: wit-melkhout, Xhosa: Ximafana, Zulu: Umakhwelafingqane) is a Southern African coastal tree, with dense foliage, black berries and small, foetid, greenish flowers. The tree's generic name means "Iron-wood" in Greek, referring to its very hard timber.
