Bayag-usa (Voacanga globosa)

At 2.5 years on the ground and the Bayag-usa (Voacanga globosa) is now fruiting. This is endemic in Philippines, sometimes ornamentally cultivated for its flowers. The fruit is used as antidote for food poisoning. 



A study of medicinal plants in the Philippines lists nine of 35 tree species to possess anticancer activity, including Bayag-Usa (Voacanga globosa). 💕🌱🌳



Ripe fruits from this mother tree will soon be propagated at BORIS PRIVATE SANCTUM.
