Two neighbors in a not very welcoming tree

Some time after I found this whole neighborhood in this single tree. 4 nests, maybe 5, I couldn't get closer

And apparently its already jambo (Syzygium) time! I love the flowers of the white and pink variety, this one is not yet in my fruit tree map. This spring is going to be fruitful

Meet a stately endemic - the Grey Satinash (Syzygium gustavioides)

Meet the gargantuan Grey Satinash (Syzygium gustavioides), one of the largest species of endemic Syzygiums one will find in the Wet Tropics. In my time in the Wet Tropics, I have had the rare privilege of seeing this both in flower and in fruit in the canopy, while doing research and plant collections up in the Daintree Rainforest Observatory canopy crane, some 25-30m up in the canopy. That…

Subterranean Wonders: The Fascinating Resilience of African Geoxyles 

Geoxyles, a distinctive feature of Afrotropical savannas and grasslands, are a type of tree that survives recurrent disturbances by resprouting from large belowground woody structures. A new study by Anya Courtenay and colleagues, published in Annals of Botany, found that underground trees inhabit significantly distinct and extreme environments relative to their taller, woody tree/shrub…

Thinking about it, out backyard is not even that big, but we have a lot of stuff growing in there. There are two mango trees, a small banana patch, an acerola tree, a cashew tree, a young avocado tree, a bunch of cassava shrubs (we dug up some over the weekend), there's even some corn now. Oh, there's also the rose apple seedling I planted a while ago, although it will be some years before we see any fruit from it.

29 March 2025 ~ New Moon, New Dawn

A new moon. A new beginning. The changes on which I've been working hard will finally realised in this Lunar cycle.

If you do something nice for yourself under this Super New Moon, I hope the positive energy from that will continue to grow as she waxes over the coming nights.

Tonight, I'm wandering down to collect Lillipillies. The trees have finished blossoming, and have grown little cherry-apples that are ready for harvesting. (It's not as magical as it sounds. It just grows over someone's fence into a waterway area. But it does look beautiful.) Bye for now!

Gold stamen rays of the Fibrous Satinash (Syzygium fibrosum)

When I first arrived in Far North Queensland, one of the first native Syzygiums I encountered was the Fibrous Satinash. I had seen it at Cattana Wetlands, where I frequented in my free time. “Fibrous Satinash” really is a poor choice of a name for this beautiful native satinash (Syzygium fibrosum). The flowers are showy, and are borne in the leaf axils. Each flower comprises abundant…

The Early History of Clove, Nutmeg, & Mace

The spices clove, nutmeg, and mace originated on only a handful of tiny islands in the Indonesian archipelago but came to have a dramatic, far-reaching impact on world trade. In antiquity, they became popular in the medicines of India and China, and they were a major component of European cuisine in the medieval period. European countries fought mightily for control of the spice trade.

Natural History

The name clove refers to the dried, unopened buds of the evergreen tree, Syzygium caryophyllata in the myrtle family. Cloves were native to only five tiny, volcanic islands in the East Indian Archipelago: Ternate, Matir, Tidore, Makian, and Bacan, all belonging to the Maluku Islands or the Moluccas.

The nutmegs are the dark reddish-brown seeds within the fruits of Myristica fragrans, of the Myristicaceae family. These seeds are surrounded by a deep red, fleshy net-like membrane, or aril, which is the mace. The nutmeg tree was native to sheltered valleys on the hot, tropical Banda Islands in the Maluku region of Indonesia.
