Alangas (Ficus heteropoda)

This Alangas (Ficus heteropoda) tree here is probably around 30 years old. I vividly remember during the early 2000's it is already bearing fruits. This is one of our local Fig species. The red ripe fruit is edible and taste sweet. 😍🌱🌳

Hangilo (Magnolia pubescens)

One of my Hangilo (Magnolia pubescens) regenerates after suffering from severe drought of the previous months. Old houses made of Hangilo from long ago are known to resist fire. ❤️🌱🌳

More than 10 sprouts can be seen but I will only allow two healthy sprouts to continue.

Apparently it is already around 15ft tall before the dry season.

Batuan (Garcinia binucao)

Outplanted this grafted Batuan/Binukaw (Garcinia binucao) just right before the 2nd quarter of 2024 ends. This is native to the Philippines, usually grows wild and the fruits are harvested and is used mainly as a souring agent to some local dishes. The dried fruits used as treatment for dysentery. Fresh fruits used to help lower hypertension. 💕🌱🌳

This is a screenshot with some Batuan fruits that I gathered from the mother tree last December of 2023.

Bokashi

One way of reducing synthetic chemicals in your permaculture garden is by using Bokashi (fermented organic matter). It adds beneficial plant friendly microbes to your soil. These microbes are the foundation of healthy, productive soils. Increases nutrient availability to your plants. 

The bokashi microbes break down organic material and soil amendments into plant available forms. Bokashi was developed in the early 1980s by Dr. Teruo Higa, a professional at the University of Ryukyus, Okinawa, Japan.

Limited stocks available and very affordable‼️ Just send a PM to BORIS PRIVATE SANCTUM.
