Bornean Ironwood (Eusideroxylon zwageri) and today's pics

[naturalist]

Named as Bornean Ironwood but it can be found in Sumatra, Java, Borneo, Flores even Philippine.
It prefers well-drained soils, sandy to clay-loam, sometimes limestone. But i planted in peat swamp
In early stage love to shaded by other trees

We see nothing around it, but it planted under several trees, young leaves start to grow

Planted next to a small tree

Similar to tree above Gave it some guano from the attic of my house. Looks better.

Handle from Bornean Ironwood, which i made for a knife, now given to my Australian friend.

A piece of ironwood that i used to test my parang made by local blacksmith base on my design

I am very pleased with this parang

Today pics

Warmest regards from Borneo

What i really missed from Australia is the wine.
I am lucky to have good friends who always brought me a bottle or two when they visit me.
Have a plan to go to Sydney and Melbourne and might be Canberra around October to do fundraising.
I invited to stay to a friend's house who had minimum 1000 bottles in his cellar every single time
