The quiver tree or "Kokerboom" (aloe dichtoma) is indigenous to the hot and dry southern part of Namibia.
The quiver tree or "Kokerboom" (aloe dichtoma) is indigenous to South Africa, specifically in the Northern Cape region, and Namibia. It has adapted to the extreme environmental conditions by storing water in their trunks and only blossoms for the first time after 20 to 30 years and can reach 300 years of age. Because the trunk and branches can easily be hollowed out, they were used as quivers by the bushmen (San people) who formerly inhabited this area.
