Kameeldoring is the Afrikaans name for the Camel Thorn tree (Vachellia erioloba or Acacia erioloba), a species native to the arid regions of Southern Africa, including the Kalahari Desert. This tree is well-adapted to dry environments and is known for its deep roots, which can reach groundwater far below the surface.
Key Characteristics:
• Appearance: The Camel Thorn can grow up to 20 meters tall, with a spreading canopy. It has a rough, dark bark, and the leaves are small and feathery.
• Thorns: The tree is equipped with sharp, white thorns that can grow up to 5 cm long, which help protect it from herbivores.
• Pods: The tree produces distinctive, flat, crescent-shaped seed pods that are a crucial food source for animals in the region.
• Wood: Kameeldoring wood is incredibly dense and hard, making it highly valued for firewood and charcoal, as it burns slowly and produces significant heat.
• Kameeldoring hardwood has an extremely low moisture content of around 1-2% due to it baking in the African sun. It has a fragrant musky smell and produces extremely hot and long lasting coals. It is the number one hardwood used for a braai/bbq as well as a log/wood burner & fireplace.
