corypha umbraculifera pamplemousses botanical garden flower-and sky view also known as talipot1872 viewsMany other parts of the plant are useful. Besides being a source for timber and thatch, the leaves of the Talipot Palm can be used for weaving mats, its hard seeds are made into buttons, its trunk contains delicious sago starch, the palm heart is a sought after delicacy. And as if all of that was not enough; the flower stalks contain a sap which is fermented into intoxicating palm wine.

corypha umbraculifera also known as talipot at pamplemousses botanical garden and visitors view1597 viewsIt is an interesting thought that our ancestors who had the foresight to plant these majestic palms never saw them blossom. They planted with the foresight to nourish the future generation. In this same way, we should be planting for the next generation; all the while conscious of our responsibility for Mother Earth and the future of our children and their children who will live on long after we have gone.
