Rivier Naboom IsiXhosa Umhlontlo Hasn't t flowered. Dimensions approx 115 cm H (into planter) 45 x 45 cm Head of Euphorbia 7 cm Diameter Stem/Trunk The Xhosa people in some areas believe that if twins are born, the father must go into the veld and bring back two of these trees and plant them, side by side, in front of the home. The growth of these Euphorbia is supposed to coincide with the growth of the twins. If the twins are of the same size the trees grow an equal height; if one of the twins is short in stature his tree will likewise be stunted in growth. In the same way these indicate the state of health of the twins. If one of trees withers or is in danger of dying, people infer that its owner too is ill; and even if the owner is away from home his relatives will know that he is probably ill. In the event of one twin dying his or her euphorbia tree is removed. It is said that the trees are differentiated at the outset in that the first planted represents the first born twin and the second represents the second twin. When the twins become sick the roots of their specific euphorbia tree are prepared and used as body wash. Should either of the twins die, so would their euphorbia trees. In case of triplets, three euphorbia trees are planted.
