The word joins three ideas \u2013 xeni, for foreigner, xenia, which relates to plant ecologies, and \u2018logy\u2019, derived from ecology.<\/p>\n

Xeni <\/i>is the Greek word for host or hospitality. In colloquial terminology it is used to refer to a stranger or foreigner.<\/p>\n

\u2018Xenia\u2019 \u2013 also from the Greek, relates to plant and human ecologies. In botany, it refers to the effect of genes introduced by pollen and results in hybrid forms.<\/p>\n

(Eco)logy is self explanatory.<\/p>\n

Johannesburg has six million trees. A century\u2019s worth of planting on this Highveld plateau has resulted in the world\u2019s largest urban forest in what was a dry savannah grassland biome.<\/p>\n

Planting began in the 1880s.<\/p>\n

Acorn, oak and walnut trees were imported from the Cape.<\/p>\n

Blue gums were planted for mine props.<\/p>\n

Exotic trees were given to [some] residents for their gardens. This nonetheless left many people without any access to greenery whatsoever.<\/p>\n

In the 1990s, and then again in the 2000s programs were\/are being developed centered around planting trees in treeless areas. But there are areas and areas, and some spots remain woefully undergreened. Put another way, it is possible to read the social biography of a place by looking at its plantings.<\/p>\n
