| The Quiver Tree Forest in southern Namibia is home to a spectacular collection of some of EarthĆ¢ā¬ā¢s most unusual trees, some of which are three centuries old. Strictly speaking, they are actually succulent aloe plants that can grow up to 33 feet high. The Bushman and Hottentot tribes use the hollow branches of this plant to make quivers for their arrows. The forest was made a Namibian national monument in 1995. |
