Is the economy that bad?? Resort to eating leaves??

Just as a piece of information, what they plucking is the flowers not the leaves. So dun think it will affect the growth of the trees. Anyway dun think it is so nice to poke fun at people by saying that they are plucking the leaves to eat due to bad economy.

By the way, from the pictures attached, did anyone saw any botak branches??

It might just be the beginning. One or two is fine for now. If everyone do it, of course the tree will die. But whats the rationale for eating flowers??

perhaps the people shown in the photos believed that the flowers from that tree can cure diseases or viruses. We can only guess but might not know the real reason though.
