Apitong (Dipterocarpus grandiflorus)

Apitong (Dipterocarpus grandiflorus) dropped on the ground before 2022 ends. 💕🌱🌳



Conservation status is "Endangered". Its timber sold under the Keruing designation. Its gum is used locally as a waterproofing varnish. The tree itself is very useful for nitrogen fixing, erosion control, soil improvement, and watershed regulation.
