The “Chalta” of the Philippines! 🇵🇭 Today at Bapon Nursery in Galiff Street, we’ve found the rare Dillenia philippinensis (Katmon). This isn’t your average backyard tree—it features incredible white petals with a burst of crimson stamens in the center, and the fruit is actually edible! Bapon Da offers healthy, grafted plants that maintain a manageable size, making them perfect for large terrace drums. ✨ Care Tip: Katmon is a “Tropical Queen”—it loves humidity and full sun. Use a rich, organic soil mix with plenty of leaf mold. To encourage those showstopping flowers, ensure the plant never goes completely bone-dry; keep the soil consistently moist. Because it’s an evergreen, it will keep your garden looking lush all year round! Is this the rarest tree at the market?
