The Tree That Gave Grootbos Its Name

We are excited to share this video created by the 1KSA/Diplomics team, who are involved in an ambitious project to sequence the genomes of 1,000 unique animals, plants, and fungi found within South Africa. One of the plants nominated was the White Milkwood, Sideroxylon inerme. This is the tree and forest that have given Grootbos its name. Watch this video created by the 1KSA Diplomics team as they showcase the White Milkwood: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kKgzka_8q7E

Grootbos Foundation is proud to have participated in this project, which will contribute to ongoing scientific research and conservation of this protected species
