Monthly Progress #67
This area must have had quite a bit of rain a few days ago. It is quite soaked. In this view, the ficus tree is seen in the direction of the newly planted (over a year ago) Alstonia scholaris, showing that it is still quite inundated. This tree needs adapting to this low lying area prone to flooding before it can grow and catch up with the other two planted in locations with higher elevations in this center. The ficus has now adapted because it was planted almost 6 years ago, and because its location is not as low as that of the Alstonia.

A good location is key. But so is good care. It appears this ficus has had both. (Nature and Nuture, you know.)
ReplyDeleteThis area is always deserted and many different species of birds come here to feed. On this photo, you can see the white ibis wading in the still undrained water from previous rains. Not in the photo are many other ibis and egrets congregating to the left.
