The Tembusu (Fagraea fragrans) is a large evergreen tree in the family Gentianaceae. It is native to Southeast Asia. Its trunk is dark brown, with deeply fissured bark, looking somewhat like a bittergourd. It grows in an irregular shape from 10 to 25m high. Its leaves are light green and oval in shape. Its yellowish flowers have a distinct fragrance and the fruits of the tree are bitter tasting red berries, which are eaten by birds and fruit bats. Source: Tembusu, Wikipedia

tWild Tea with Ms Kathy Xu

Host: tWild

Kathy Xu is the founder of The Dorsal Effect (TDE) which promotes shark conservation via ecotourism. TDE offers shark fishermen an alternative livelihood, which is to bring tourists out for snorkelling boat trips instead of hunting for sharks. She graduated from NUS with a degree in History and English Language. Prior to The Dorsal Effect, she worked as a teacher for seven years, but decided to quit her stable job to make a real-world difference for shark conservation and coral preservation in Lombok, Indonesia. Come join us for a chat with Kathy as she shares her life-changing experience!
