Quiver Tree Day

Quiver Tree Day is September 17th

Quiver Tree Day is an Epic Tree Holiday celebrating the Trees on Earth. It is a day to remember the importance of protecting the earth and trees. 

While not a true tree, the Quiver Tree deserves a day in the Tree Holidays because of the unique and interesting tree structure. This succulent plant is in the Aloe family and grows to the size of a tree with leaves that almost look like roots, giving it it's unique upside-down look. 

The Quiver tree is most commonly found in the Quiver Tree Forest in Namibia where some of the trees are over 200 years old. It is one of the rarest trees in the world with one of the most unique silhouettes.
