Mamalis (Pittosporum pentandrum)

Time to outplant more native trees. Mamalis (Pittosporum pentandrum) a.k.a. Cheesewood. Native to the Philippines, China, Taiwan, and Indonesia. 



The wood of the Mamalis is used for novelty items and fashion accessories, such as anklets, bracelets, necklaces and beads, which are exported to Japan, Europe and United States.



This tree is known to be drought-resistant and can be considered a good reforestation tree in areas with grasses and weeds since it can withstand growth competition. ❤️🌱🌳



The seeds are not easy to germinate but BORIS PRIVATE SANCTUM will try to propagate soon via clone.
