But they also serve one purpose of protecting the tree against other pests like caterpillars. fruit trees will attract alot of bats at night. Way to go! for a green earth! If got space, could consider planting some rainforest trees, like the pulai. A durian tree is also good. <b>Bernard says, "Fuyoh! Got sapce but not <i>that</i> much space. Thanks for the info.

At least I won't be so guilty should my wife stumble accross your pix (pretty unlikely. She doesn't surf). Pandan is great. I have plenty in my garden. Doesn't need much attention. Bernard, ahhh.
