The tree in my farm was still healthy a year ago with thick growth of branches and leaves. Its trunk was 400mm diameter and about 20m height. Today, it is still standing tall, but you can see the internal structure being eaten up by various agencies, leaving basically the bark.
The termites, the bees, the beetles, the birds, creeping plants and fungi were some of the culprits helping to strip the tree alive.
To survive in the tropical climate, the tree needs more defensive weapons to wear off such attacks. Why this tree lost such ability?
