spekboom

/ˈspɛkbʊəm

noun

A South African shrub with succulent leaves, which is used for fodder during times of drought.

The thick succulent stems of spekboom readily sprout when a freshly-cut branch is simply inserted into soil....

The more succulent and spiny shrubs such as spekboom and small bitterleaf, which can survive with little moisture and high temperatures, grow inland.
However, defoliation during winter has a depressing effect on growth, and so as much resting as possible is advisable in winter, particularly in areas in which spekboom has low vigour.

Mid 19th century: from Afrikaans, from spek 'bacon' + boom 'tree'.
