    Quantity:

    We stock dense decorative root wood from north central Namibia in our warehouse in upstate New York. The driftwood has been sandblasted. It should be leached for 72 hours in running water before use in an aquarium. It is nice, clean and very gnarled. Each piece is unique. The driftwood is called mopane, also known as cow fan wood. This is the root from trees. Mopane wood is extremely dense and will sink when placed in water without the addition of any weights.

    There are many applications for this driftwood. To name a few:

    • Garden & Patio Decoration
    • Floral Displays - Click for sample pictures
    • Taxidermy Mounts
    • Aquarium and Pond Displays
    • Table Centerpieces
    • Candle Holders
    • Lamp Bases
    • Bases for Sculptures

    The driftwood is non-toxic (i.e., it will not kill your fish) and ready for use in an aquarium after a thorough rinsing. The driftwood is also very dense and will sink to the bottom of an aquarium or water tank without needing slate weights.

    Volume discounts on bulk assorted wood are available for qualified business accounts.

    Mopane driftwood is not subject to CITES. There are no export controls on this item for shipments outside of the United States.
