The Quiver Tree is one of the best-known floras of Namibia. The indigenous people used to hollow out the tubular branches of the tree and make quivers for their arrows. This is how the tree got its name.
The Quiver Tree is a succulent plant that has strange-looking leaves that resemble roots, giving the appearance that the tree is upside down. According to local tradition, the tree brings good luck to anyone who worships and nurtures it. It is even said that if one digs up a tree, they will find diamonds where it grows. Thankfully, since these trees are blessed, nobody wants to dig them up.
The Quiver tree grows aplenty in southern Namibia. There is a whole grove of them near Keetmanshoop called the Quiver Tree Forest, which is a tourist attraction. The forest has grown spontaneously, and the tallest quiver trees are two to three centuries old. The forest was declared a national monument of Namibia in 1995. Namibia's rich biodiversity boasts of an astonishing array of plant life that spans from the arid expanses of the Namib Desert to the lush oases of its riverbeds and the rugged landscapes of its mountain ranges. A staggering number of these botanical wonders are endemic to the country, having evolved to meet the country's challenging climatic conditions. Within this botanical treasure trove, one can discover some of the most extraordinary and peculiar-looking plants found only within Namibia's borders.
