For days, the leaves fell off. The brown dry leaves looked kinda ironic on the thick green grass.

Thanks for sharing the info about the banaba shedding its leaves. Early this year I noticed our talisay tree shed its leaves but quickly grew them back. I think mahogany trees shed their leaves, too. I just don’t know when. Maybe I’ll start a list of leaf-shedding trees. Wouldn’t it be great if all these trees shed their leaves at the same time? Then we would have our own “autumn.”

Hi Rose, and I thought only our banaba tree sheds leaves… LOL I thought it was sick or something and that’s why it sheds it leaves. Thank you, too, for the info about your talisay tree.

I live in the Dominican Republic. Climate simular to yours. I have searched all the internet and plant suppliers with no luck in purchasing this plant [Tree]. Would you Please sell me some seeds or give me the direction of who can. Due to the high rate of diabetics here i would like to start a back yard project giving young plants to the poor farmers who suffer with no funds for medicine or treatment. I have read of the medical benifits and would like to help them with their home grown medication.
Thank you so much for your time and effort.

you know banaba was originaly discovered in mt banaha many mountains get snow in winter even in the phil it may be possable that the reason it shed its leaves is due to the tree coming from a cold winter climate and hot summer.
the daylight hours becoming shorter in the cooler weather here or wet weather would triger the leaf falling out making the tree think winter is on its way.
just a thought john
