3. Spekboom can live up to 200 years: And Spekboom trees can grow as tall
as 5 metres. Prior to the advent of large-scale livestock farming, some areas of the
Eastern Cape had Spekboom forests so thick that it was said a grown human could
walk across the top as if walking on a carpet.
4. Spekboom adapts to it’s surroundings: In the wet, cool months, Spekboom
photosynthesises like other plants, opening its stomata during the day to absorb
carbon dioxide. During drier times, the plant has the ability to open its stomata at
night in order to prevent water loss during the heat of the day.
5. Spekboom is edible, with a very high nutritional value: It is a favoured
food of black rhinos, elephants and kudus. The good news is that we can eat it too.
With a slightly lemony taste, Spekboom leaves are juicy and full of moisture, making
them the perfect ‘pick-me-up’ during a long day’s hiking in the arid Karoo
6. It’s water wise: No time to water your garden? Spekboom is a water-wise plant
that’s ideal for low-maintenance gardens. This drought-resistant plant can survive on
just 250-350mm of water a year!
7. Even better, Spekboom is easy to grow: Spekboom is easily propagated,
which is great news for budget gardeners. Simply cut or break off a piece of a
spekboom, let it dry out for one or two days and then stick it in the ground. Give it a
little water every few days and you’ll soon have a new spekboom plant of your own.
Make sure you don’t give it too much water or it will rot.
8. Spekboom is a really versatile plant: Whether you are looking for a plant
that can be turned into a hedge or a bonsai, or used as groundcover or a large bush,
spekboom can do it all. It responds well to pruning and grows densely, making it an
excellent, hardy screen or hedge. Some varieties grow low to the ground and others
reach as high as 2 metres.
Happy gardening!
Hot tips: Before it gets cold and the job becomes uncomfortable, clean
out your water features. Check that your pump is clean and in good condition.
Also check your irrigation. This time of year we irrigate very little as Mother
