Flacourtia inermis ( Lobeh-Lobeh, Rukam Masam )Why this species was chosen
This tree is unique and it ties in with the theme : Invasive Alien Species. As it is planted near our Orchard Lane, we want a tree that bears edible fruits. So it is just nice that this tree bears bright red edible fruits.Website
