March 2010[edit]

Thanks for improving the article - but these trees do not produce pods - they produce fruit in the form of small black berries ~2mm in diameter - the source is incorrect of 'pods' being used as fodder. Also the bark is made into a waterproof string/ rope - not 'for waterproofing' as far as I understand. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Michaelwild (talk • contribs) 06:13, 8 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
