Seeds of power

Tongkat Ali tree next to oil palm
Zone C
 With plenty of Tongkat Ali (Eurycoma longifolia) fruits harvested I guess its time to start propagating this magical and wonderful tree.  It grows well at the park and bears flowers as well as fruits.  Elsewhere,  I have called this tree as the 'Tree of Power'.  I consider it a good ornamental tree as well and so I'm thinking of planting more of them around the park.
Ripe fruits are red and very ripe ones turn black

Flowering spike showing lots of buds

A little rain at the park


 A little rain at the park has brought much relief to the birds and plants.  The dry spell has been felt for more than a week already and this little rain means so much to residents of the park.  The Eurasian Tree Sparrow was slightly drenched.  The Drunken Sailor became an attractive plantlife study and so was the Tongkat Ali flowers and fruits.  The Tongkat Ali is a man's best friend.  To find out why check it out in my other blog here....>>>>http://myussop.blogspot.com/2009/09/tree-of-power-tongkat-ali.html
