Seed fall White Lauan (Shorea contorta). Fast growing straight bole tree, good as a plantation species due to its high market value. The last time I know it was 90/brd ft, that was 3 yrs ago. It is expected to get higher in the future.
Already showing a sign of life. Dipterocarpus species is never a problem on its germination. As long as it is matured, the seed will germinate easily even with no soil. The only problem is that, its seeds are recalcitrant and losses viability as the day goes by.
A fast growing timber species. This one is planted a year ago and it's already 10ft tall.
One of its characteristic is self pruning thus achieving a straight bole trunk.
One of the mother tree in the wild.
