Susong Kalabaw or Hilagak (Uvaria rufa)

My Susong Kalabaw or Hilagak (Uvaria rufa) after 15mos on the ground. Hilagak is a woody climbing shrub, 5 to 6 meters high. Studies have suggested anti-diabetic, anti-tubercular, antioxidant, anticancer, antibacterial, anti-prostatic hyperplasia, antispasmodic properties. Fruits are edible, with a tart and sweet flavor. 😍🌱💕



One of the toughest seed to that I have experienced, it took 7mos to germinate. One of my trial during pandemic lockdown days of 2020.



Clustered fruit of Uvaria rufa.

I will have my trial soon on cloning for the additional propagation of this species.
