        This tree grows up to 30 metres tall. It grows in the old abandoned gardens and the jungle. It is not a strong tree, it just easily breaks by itself. It has fruit. When its fruit is opened, then another edible fruit - the seed - can be seen inside. Its fruit is red. The tree is used by the children for making toy cars and ships. When it rots, mushrooms grow on it.
