Description

We started talking about the tree next to Ulumo's house and realised there are lots of stories there. Sibi planted it decades ago when he was a teenager, bringing it up from the nambis because it's not native here. The sap of the tree is used as bush medicine and the leaves can be dried and burnt as mosquito repellent.
