Nutmeg (Myristica fragrans)

Sometimes the weeds can keep your new plants cool under the sweltering heat of the sun. This is Nutmeg (Myristica fragrans) outplanted couple of months ago.

I do put a shade for the young outplanted seedling, its from a leaf of a coconut and sometimes weeds will occupy most of it acting additional protection for the plant. 

A sample fruit of a Nutmeg from the mother tree. The red arils is one of the most priced spice in the world. 

This is the photo of the mother tree where the seeds came from and germinated it successfully.

Anahaw Palm (Saribus rotundifolius)

The start of fruit fall for the Anahaw palm (Saribus rotundifolius). Some of these palm are growing since the 50's and 60's. Although it is invasive since bats love to feast on its ripe fruits and dispersed the seeds anywhere and will grow in almost any type of soil, but still has many uses. Your agroforestry farm is incomplete without Anahaw — the National Leaf of the Philippines.

Round straight bole trunk of the old Anahaw Palm which is extra hard when used in construction. 

Towering heights of these palm can grow as high as the tallest coconuts.
