Pictured here is Senegalia polycantha (locally known as “ongono” or the white thorn) which is a very resilient tree which can grow over 25 meters! Swipe to see a grown Senegalia polycantha tree. 🌱 Senegalia polycantha is great at surviving in the hot and dry conditions of Uganda, and has many uses including a live fence/boundary, fuelwood, fodder for animals, and even crocodile deterrents! 🌱 We are currently learning about how to harvest gum from these trees with our partner @ecosia as a new potential income source for our partner farmers. #kijani #forestry #uganda #agroforestry #deforestation #planting #trees #africa #reforestation #sustainability #treenursery #soil #growth #charcoal #replant #farming #environment #fuel #permaculture #forestry #deforestation #planttrees #plantmoretrees #planetearth #savetheplanet #gulu #uganda #eastafrica #kijani #kijaniforestry #greenstand #explorepage
