CASSIA

At Nahkon Nayok, there were so many huge beautiful magnificent trees at the place. We saw so many common and uncommon trees with interesting burls, curves etc.

Now we know where to get amazingly beautiful trees of stature. Just planting a few of them along the Broadwalk would be so breathtaking and would provide good shade to the park very quickly. The sad part would eventually be Thailand would be losing these trees from their forests when the demand goes up.

Anyway, this is one unusual Cassia that would likely not flower as profusely in Singapore, much like the Cassia fistula that does not flower as spectacularly as in its native environment.
