Fun Facts

The thin aerial roots hanging from the tree absorb moisture in the air. When they reach the ground, the roots penetrate the soil and grow into thick support for the tree.

This evergreen tree is big and tall with a wide tree crown. It serves well to provide shading from the sun.

IUCN Red List: Least Concern

The fruit can be eaten by mammals such as black crested gibbons and Hainan gibbons in China. These animals are critically endangered.

Protect trees to protect endangered animals!
