Sap from a tree.

Isn't everything in nature just amazing to look at? Take for example this jungle jalebi tree (Pithecellobium dulce) which I recently shaped a little. It had come all over the roof, so I cut a few branches to make a shaded sitting area under that tree (at the rooftop that is).

Really a somewhat ugly and thorny tree (which also attracts ants because of it's sweet sap). But grows very fast, and requires zero maintenance.

Wow, those thorns look painful. Does anyone make anything from the sap? (like we make maple syrup).

 

I think sap and/or resin makes an excellent glue (or is a key component of a glue at the very least). Other than that, I have no real idea.

 

Wow,..those are huge thorns,..i wonder could you save the sap until it turns into Amber.
