Quiver Tree (Aloe dichotoma)

Fish River Canyon, Namibia

Aloe dichotoma, also known as Quiver tree or Kokerboom (Afrikaans), is a species of aloe indigenous to Southern Africa, specifically in the Northern Cape region, and Namibia.
Known as Choje to the indigenous San people, the quiver tree gets its name from their practice of hollowing out the tubular branches of Aloe dichotoma to form quivers for their arrows.
