Bolo-banate (Taxotrophis macrophylla)

Finally there's an ID for this hardwood tree! It's Taxotrophis macrophylla formerly Streblus macrophyllus. Lots of this species growing here, commonly used as tool handles as it is highly durable.




A single fruit of Taxotrophis macrophylla.
 



The trunk of a very old Taxotrophis macrophylla that was planted by my late grandfather around 70yrs ago.



A fully matured tree is just like that. It can be as tall only as your house roof.
