Mosetlha is the Setswana word for the Peltophorum africanum tree, commonly known as the weeping wattle or, in Afrikaans, the huilboom (“crying tree”). In Setswana, Mosetlha means “the yellow one”, after the tree’s yellow flowers. The mosetlha is a valuable tree to have in a game reserve as the leaves are eaten by elephant, black rhino, giraffe, kudu, impala and grey duiker. It is also a useful tree for bee-keepers as it’s a good source of nectar and pollen. The tree provides wonderful shade and offers protection against the sun during the hot summer months. It flowers in summer, attracting insects and, in turn, many insect-eating birds.
