Philippine Native Trees What to Plant in Different Provinces

CELSO B. LANTICAN, D.Phil. (Oxford)

Retired Professor & Former Dean
UPLB College of Forestry and Natural Resources
College, Laguna
INTRODUCTION
Choosing what to plant for reforestation or
tree farm/plantation development usually requires screening a long list of candidate species to find out which of the species can best
provide a desired end product (e.g. fuelwood,
construction materials, etc.) and which would
be able to grow productively on the site earmarked for planting. The expected output of
the process is a short list of species suited not
only to the desired end product (or service)
but to the chosen planting site as well.

The focus of this paper is on native or indigenous species of trees because the countrys
National Greening Program favors their use in
reforesting degraded upland areas across the
country. The native trees that have been
identified for planting under NGP, as stated in
a memorandum circular issued by DENR in
2011, are dipterocarps, narra, and other premium and other indigenous species. NGP,
however, allows the use of exotic species such
as mahogany, gmelina, acacia and rubber on
account of their economic importance. From
talks that I have had with some field officers
of DENR, I have learned that many exotic species of fruit trees (e.g. coffee, cacao, mango,
rambutan, etc.) are also accepted for planting
under the program.
Reforesting with native trees is a brilliant idea.
Native trees constitute the basic foundation of
the countrys forest ecosystems. Countless
centuries of evolution through natural selection has given them adaptability to their respective local environments. The other advantages of using native trees for reforestation
are as follows:

They possess the natural ability to recover from damage caused by pests
and diseases and even turbulent
weather.

They will help restore the natural habitats of many species of wildlife, including soil flora and fauna and pollinators of many food crops in nearby
areas.

There is less likelihood that they will

become invasive.

Many people are familiar with their

local uses.

A large number of them have been investigated by local scientists.

The question of what native trees to plant in

different provinces is easy to answer select
from among those that are native to the province, taking into account their altitudinal preferences and their suitability for the desired
end product or service.
A master list of the species included in the
paper is provided (Table 1). In the master list
tree size, wood density, and the suitability of
each to four major uses lumber (LBR), veneer and plywood (V&P), wood composition
board (particleboard and fiberboard) and pulp
and paper. Hopefully, the inclusion of data on
these tree characteristics would be useful in
deciding what to plant.
The master list was based largely on the authors knowledge about Philippine timber
producing species gained from many years of
1

teaching dendrology and wood identification

at the UPLB College of Forestry.
There are 141 species belonging to 37 plant
families included in the list. 34 of the families
are hardwood families. The remaining three
belong to the following softwood families
Araucariaceae, Pinaceae and Podocarpaceae.
The families with the most number of species
in the list are the following:
Dipterocarpaceae
Fabaceae
Lauraceae
Meliaceae
Sapotaceae
Anacardiaceae
Apocynaceae
Others

Table 2 provides a list of the species of trees

that occur naturally in different parts of the
country by region and by province. For each
province the names of the different species
that are known to occur naturally therein are
listed. For each species in the list, the altitudinal preferences of each species are marked
with the letter X. In Table 2 there is also a
column that indicates the type of climate that
is predominant in the province.
Climate type was based on the following classification:
Total annual rainfall (mm)
>2600
1800-2600
<1800

0-1
A1
B1
C1

Dry Months
2-3
4-5
A2
A3
B2
B3
C2
C3

6-7
A4
B4
C4

These families account for 62% of the total

number of species included in the list.

This classification system was used by Lantican, Diaz and Tandug (2002) in their work on
species-site compatibility.

The inclusion of wood density values in Table

1 perhaps needs further elaboration. Wood
density is one of the best indicators of wood
quality. It is a reliable indicator of strength,
hardness, workability, shrinkage and swelling,
finishing characteristics and pulp yield.

Mangrove species have not been included in

the master list because the natural habitat of
these species is already well known muddy
tidal flats along sea coasts. It is unlikely that
anyone would even think of using mangrove
species for planting outside its known habitat.

Wood density is customarily classified by

wood scientists into five classes:

HOW THIS PAPER WAS PREPARED

High ( 0.700). Generally used for

heavy construction because of their
strength.
Moderately high (0.601 0.700).
Mostly suitable for house and building
construction.
Medium (0.501 0.600). Mostly suitable for high grade furniture and cabinets.
Moderately low (0.401 0.500).
Generally suitable for veneer and plywood manufacture.
Low ( 0.400). Generally used for pulp
and paper, woodcraft, etc.

The preparation of this paper required the

examination of several publications that provided information about the natural distribution of the different species covered within
the country. The most useful ones were the
works of Merrill (1923-1926), Pelzer, Barcelona and Nickrent (2011 onwards), Reyes
(1938), and Meniado, Valbuena and Tamolang
(1974).
Should anyone be interested in a species that
is not in the master list what he or she should
do is to access either of the following two
books in the internet:

for improved forestation. Unpublished terminal report to PCARRD.

It was a long tedious study interrupted by frequent travels, consultancies, speaking engagements, involvement in biofuel research,
appointments with the doctor, inclement
weather, and lack of funds. In preparing this
paper, the author had no external source of
funds.

Meniado, J.A., R.B. Valbuena and F.N. Tamolang. 1974. Timbers of the Philippines. Manila:
Government Printing Office.

To people who have no training in plant taxonomy, going through Merrills work and Cos
digital Flora of the Philippines would have
been a very boring experience. This is probably the reason why we have not had a simple
listing of our flora by province.

Philippines. www.philippineplants.org.

Since the preparation of the paper was based

entirely on existing publications, the information presented cannot be considered original.
What the author did was merely to have all
available information compiled, sorted and
presented in a form that would be easy even
for laymen to understand.
