Personal note

Edible plant - the sap contains a certain amount of sugar and can either be used as a drink, or can be concentrated into a syrup by boiling off the water.
Usable plant - a rose coloured dye is obtained from the bark; the heartwood is white and not clearly demarcated from the sapwood, is close-grained, hard and heavy; the trees are fairly wind tolerant and are often used in to give protection from the wind in mixed shelterbelts.Edible plant - the sap contains a certain amount of sugar and can either be used as a drink, or can be concentrated into a syrup by boiling off the water.
