Amazing orange leaves

By on March 9, 2009 in tree

I was in Swaziland, at the Mkhaya National Park, when I saw this amazing tree with these deep, orange leaves.  I don’t know much about the tree but have always loved the photograph so I thought I’d share it.

Amazing orange leaves.

    Amazing orange leaves – 9 Mar 2009
    This could be the Fiddlewood tree known to grow in Natal but does well in Gauteng.

    thanks Esther, is the Fiddlewood indigenous to South Africa?

    Hi Esther and Milez

    This is definitely not the common Fiddlewood found in KZN; not the correct leaves. But there are more than on species and in that family.

    It looks more like a Yellowwood’s leaves to me, a dead one to be exact. They can turn orange like that when dead.

    The Fiddlewood is an exotic, country of origin the West Indies, I think.
