PALWAHAN TREE
Malibago or "Hibiscus tiliaceus" for shoreline and riverbank protection
Malibago roots act as biologic gabion along the banks of Talomo river thus preventing erosion.
Over- pruned malibago trees by villagers. Note the burning of twigs and leaves by weekend fishermen who have no concern with the environment whatsoever.
In spite of nature's havoc on the shoreline, malibago still standas tall.

What's in malibago?
The current devastation in Manila tells us how fragile our environment is. For the past 15 years we have been using and advocating the planting of trees along shorelines and river banks.
Malibago is an exceptional tree..... its rooting system is like a biological gabion.... Really terrific! See picture above and marvel art how the roots have stabilized the river bank
Watch for my incoming pictures on how the "lowly malibago" has "changed" the landscape at Shimric Beachfarm Resort, Talomo, Davao City Philippines.......... See you soon........

In the beginning.....
This blog in a way chronicles the evolution of Shimric BeachFarm Resort and how the trees, espicially malibago helped transform a barren landscape to what it is now..... a forest by the sea within the heart of the city.
