First ripe fruit from a 4 year old Malaysian jackfruit variety. The flesh is a bit dry but sweet. Hopefully it will improve as the tree gets older.

Aquilaria filaria
One of my 4.5 year old #Aquilaria filaria, it was outplanted during the summer of 2022. The wood of all members of this genus, when infected with a fungus, becomes a source of agarwood, which is very aromatic and highly valued as an incense, perfume and medicine. ππ±π³

Silver Bismarck Palm
We have some few 6 year old Silver Bismarck Palm (Bismarckia nobilis) available for disposal. This is a highly sought-after, massive landscape #palm famous for its dramatic, powder-blue to silvery-white fan fronds. Native to the savannas of #Madagascar, this single-trunked tree acts as an architectural focal point in warm climates. Because of its immense scale—reaching heights of 30 to 60 feet with a canopy spreading up to 16 feet wide—it requires ample open space to avoid overwhelming nearby structures. π΄π΄π΄

Native to the tropical lowland and montane rainforests of the Americas, this relative of the ginger and banana plant makes a dramatic focal point in any tropical landscape due to its towering size and textured blooms. ππ±π
Tiaong (Shorea ovata)
After 2 years on the ground this Tiaong (Shorea ovata) was my replacement to the 4 year old juvenile that was damaged by the El NiΓ±o during the summer of 2024. The 4 years is wasted but It's never too late for the new one. ππ±π³
Crape Myrtle for shipping
For shipping Crape Myrtle (Lagerstroemia indica) locally known as Melendres bound to Iligan City. Thank you!
This is an introduced species, cultivated for ornamental purposes. #Melendres is highly effective at attracting #pollinators, particularly #bees. It blooms heavily from late spring to early fall, serving as a critical food resource during the hot midsummer months when other nectar and pollen sources might be scarce.

Commonly known as Hooker's fishtail #Palm or Hooker's sugar palm. It is a small, clumping understory palm native to the #rainforests of Thailand and Peninsular Malaysia. π΄π΄π΄
