Bong Tree / Malabunga (Nothaphoebe umbelliflora)

Successfully germinated the seeds from a few ripe fruits of Bong Tree locally known as Malabunga (Nothaphoebe umbelliflora). Bark from the Bong Tree contains gum, a useful sticking agent, and aromatic oils. Pulverized bark is used to make incense sticks for temples in Southeast Asia. 😍🌱🌳



Took at least a month to germinate the seeds in the common pot. 



The ripe fruits of Bong Tree gathered last April 2023 from a very young  mother tree. 



Will outplant a couple of this specimen to be added soon at BORIS PRIVATE SANCTUM.
