Confuscious Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 I have at home a tree which I had always thought it was a bamboo tree. But last week, having a discussion with my neighbor, he said that it was not a bamboo tree. According to him, it was a normal tree which Thai people like to plant because of the small fruits which have a drug effect. Something similar to the magic mushrooms. Can anybody here tell me more about this Bamboo tree? TIA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickenslegs Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 (edited) Looks like a betel nut tree to me. https://www.google.co.th/search?q=betel+nut+tree&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&client=firefox-b&gws_rd=cr&ei=QK9zWICZGMTWvATXlaXABA Edited January 9, 2017 by chickenslegs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carib Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 Confusious, I think your neighbor is right. It is not a bamboo tree but a palm tree which produces 'betelnuts' as Chickenlegs already pointed out. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Areca_catechu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
