Trees

[sunshine51]

SJ...This is the mature (very mature) tree that produces the "poison apple"

fruit in your previous photo (post 599). Apparently this tree is around 90

years old. Side of van for comparison....

There is another of this same tree on this property, I found today ......not quite as big as yours SS, but its flower is very nice, with a light scent

Almost looks like an impatiens flower....

[TP1]

A plant that thinks it's a tree.

Next to Khon Kaen lake.

Grandpa's palm trees

[TP1]

Don't know what kind of tree this is, but the flowers were beautiful.

Seen only one on the way to WangNamKeaw, yesterday.

^^^^where's Xen when we need him? He's better on trees than me!!!

More coconut trees on Maenam, Samui beach today!

[Chonburiram]

Seen at Bumiphon Dam

[TP1]

An unusual tree or plant in Khao Kho.

[sunshine51]

^^^ Looks like a very old pandan plant.

[Chonburiram]

I've never seen a coconutpalm with a sideshoot, did you?

[samuijimmy]

I would say Ponytail palm for TP1 image on 610 (google it!) ^

Never seen a coconut side shoot like that either!

We see these Ficus occasionally on Samui, what we called Rubber Trees in the "west"

[sunshine51]

^^^ Jimmy...I reckon you're correct on the Ponytail Palm. Mind you I have seen old pandan

plants look the same. Had one at the house on Bali & used it often to cut off a couple leaves

and make pandan rice with cashew's...yummy.

[TP1]

Nothing unusual about the tree but the setting was nice.

[samuijimmy]

Pandan also good with coffee too! ^^^

One day this will be an Avocado tree....

[Chonburiram]

^ time to plant your Avocado tree! (bush?)

Are you going to shorten the roots before? Or better unpruned in the soil?

It now has soil, in the same bottle!!! I am baby sitting it, for one of our member's who is in OZ.... I have never grown one before from the seed, but have one in the garden, some one gave me a few years ago, talk about slow growing!

Trees with dingly dangly thingies!!!

[bundycat]

mangrove trees ..the givers and nuturers of life for many

..mmm

[Chonburiram]

You just slowly filled the soil in, to suppress the water?

I have seen them but i couldn't identify it either so i asked at the office and comrade of mine who is brilliant on Tropical trees and he thought it was Cassia javanica .Don't ask me a comon name but in wiki they say it is in Thai: ชัยพฤกษ์ .

It is difficult to tell though and my eyes are getting worse too but the leaves are they compound or simple ? They look compound to me but the cassia has simple leaves so that id may be incorrect on that basis alone.

Also i concur that the palm certainly looks like a pony tail palm to me. Great specimen too in the photo .

Xen, thanks for the explanation.

I believe the leaves were compound but I didn't spend much time observing it.

I was just driving, saw this tree and stopped to take some photos as I thought it was beautiful.

I took this photo this morning, looking like a happy little camper! ...

[Chonburiram]

^ And I was thinking you have to cover the whole seed... Nice!

[samuijimmy]

^ And I was thinking you have to cover the whole seed... Nice!

You could be right.... I am not sure, but going to leave well enough alone, for the time being.....

[TP1]

A long way to become trees but I liked them.

[TP1]

My Chompoo (Rose apples) will be ready in 2 or 3 days.

The lemons are getting bigger.

The Kaffir limes are ready for my g/f to wash her hair with.

The mangoes are delicious.

The pomegranates have flowers

And fruit

A good year for my garden

[samuijimmy]

I hope madam keeps away with her chopper! ! ^

[TP1]

Samuijimmy, I wouldn't trust that smile.

Yes, you better keep away from her.....you never know.........

Oh believe me, I am keeping an eye on her!
