| Title (Provisional) |
Outeniqua yellowwood | |
|---|---|---|
| Designed By | Mike Oettle | |
| Brief Description | Taken from the colours of the Outeniqua yellowwood (Podocarpus falcatus, or more recently Afrocarpus falcatus) when it sprouts new leaves. The freshest leaf growth is almost white, and sprouts across the tree as if it is lit with candles. It gradually darkens until the whole tree is uniformly a fairly dark green. | |
