Restoring South African subtropical succulent thicket using : root growth of cuttings differs depending on the harvest site during a drought.

The restoration of succulent thicket (the semi-arid components of the Albany Subtropical Thicket biome endemic to South Africa) has largely focused on the reintroduction of L.
