In Teacher's teacher, we congratulated Land Bank for coming up with a super calendar for 2010. Malaybalayan will also offer the same congratulatory message to the management of Land Bank.
Congratulations Land Bank!!!
We will use the calendar as reference to cite the scientific names of the six trees "awesomely" presented, especially the Bagras trees under the care and protection of Bukidnon Forest, Inc. in Malaybalay, Bukidnon, Philippines. From the calendar, too, we will borrow the short description for every tree.
Here goes:
1. Narra -Pterocarpus indicus Wild. fabaceae
These trees are under the care of the reforestation of the Department of Natural Resources and the local government of Diadi, Nueva Vizcaya.
Narra is the national tree of the Philippines. From February to May, it blooms to its finest form. Bearing yellow, fragrant flowers and disc-shaped fruits, Narra produces moderately hard and heavy lumb.er, a good material in creating durable and high-quality furniture.
2. Mangium - Acacia Mangium Wild. fabaceae
These trees are grown at the Tree Kings Inc., Industrial Plantation in Basay, Negros Oriental.
Mangium, with its full- grown height of 30 meters, has various uses: watershed protection and firebreaks, ornamental, woodwork,pulp and particle board. Its adaptability, fast growth and dense canopy make it useful for hedgerows, shade and other agroforestry applications.
3. Bagras - Eucalyptus deglupta Blume. Myrtaceae
Bagras is famous for its bark which peels off all year round in thin paper ribbon. It is one of the fastest growing trees that is native to the Philippines.
The Bagras trees are under the care and protection of the Bukidnon Forest Incorporated, in Malaybalay, Bukidnon.
Reaching 70 meters in height and 240 centimeters in diameter, Bagras is mainly for pulpwood used in making paper. The wood is also useful for furniture components, general construction, millwork, posts and poles. Its oil is extensively used for medicinal purposes.
Bagras' quick growth, good coppicing ability, adaptability to a range of environments, relative resistance to fire, pests and diseases and suitability for a variety of wood products make it a good choice for tree farming in Northern Mindanao particularly in Bukidnon.
4. Agoho - Casuarina equisetifolia L. casuarinaceae
Agoho trees stand at the foot of Mt. Mayon in Sto. Domingo, Albay.
Agoho tree is resilient to typhoons frequenting the Bicol region. It stands tall at the heat of the sun and bends gracefully with the gusty wind. It thrives in sandy soil. It is valuable in erosion control and land reclamation projects. It resembles a pine tree and produces heavy seed crops post by the age of five years. Agoho's wood is used for house posts and electric poles and other household materials.
5. Mahogany - Sawietenia macrophylla King. Meliaceae
Mahogany trees are under the care of Dumarao Reforestation Project in Dumarao, Capiz.
These trees were introduced in the Philippines in 1914. Its average height isaac 30 meters but it can grow to as high as 50 meters. Its large leaves make it a good shade for crops such ndas coffee and cacao. In Northern Luzon, yams, tugi, pineapples, ginger and banana are under Mahogany. It commands good price throughout the world for its reddish wood which is
widely used for carpentry, veneers and cabinet-making.
6. Falcata - Paraserianthes falcataria (L) Nielsen. Fabaceae
Falcata trees line up along the national highway in Mawab, Compostela Valley.
Falcata is a fast- growing tree which reaches up to 30 meters in height and 60 cms. in diameter. It is also known as Moluccan sau. It can be grown in fairly acidic and agriculturally unproductive hilly sites and is a good soil conditioner. It can be used for lumber, pulpwoood and shade tree for coffee, cocoa and other crops.
With all the great information, Malaybalayan, thanks Land Bank. Malaybalay residents,
