An Eco-Friendly Harvest
Rooikrans (Acacia cyclops) is actually an invasive shrub species in South Africa that spreads prolifically, posing a severe threat to the native fynbos biodiversity surrounding Cape Town and Table Mountain. By choosing Rooikrans braai wood, your purchase actively supports vital clearing efforts that help restore and protect the natural South African ecosystem.
