Outplanted my replacement for my Himbabao or Alukon (Allaeanthus luzonicus) or Birch Flower in English.
Native to the Philippines and can be found in thickets and second growth forests, at low and medium altitudes.
Flower spikes are edible; used in meat and vegetable dishes like pinakbet and bulanglang. When cooked, the flower becomes gooey and slimy like okra. Flowering season extends from February to April. Aside from its culinary use, the fibrous bark of Himbabao is used in making ropes. ❤️🌱🌳
If this specimen will perform and grow well, BORIS PRIVATE SANCTUM will soon propagate for future planting materials.
