To celebrate the 2025 Trees of the Year, Jacana Media is honouring the White Milkwood (Sideroxylon inerme subsp. inerme) and Red Milkwood (Mimusops caffra), two iconic species that are vital to South Africa’s biodiversity. 

To provide more information on these and other trees, they have introduced the Sappi Tree Spotting series. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced tree spotter, this series is ideal for exploring South Africa’s natural beauty. The series provides easy identification, photos and illustrations, and expert knowledge to understand the importance of our trees.
