Cannonball tree

Posted by Ray (Bangkok, Thailand) on 30 December 2007 in Plant & Nature.

The Sara tree, also known as the Cannonball tree, is sacred to Buddhists as it is believed Buddha was born and also did under this species of tree.
Seeds are the size and shape of a cannonball.
The tree is not native to thailand, but can be found growing in the grounds of many temples.
