This sapodilla tree, chicozapote locally, is loaded with fruit near my new place in Puerto Morelos. Its sap was the original chewing gum base long before synthetic gum existed. 🌳
This tree gave the world chewing gum, its latex (chicle) was the original base before synthetic gum, and the Maya used its rock-hard wood for temple lintels still standing after 1,000+ years. 🍬
Pha Chor reminds us that nature takes its time. Rock, earth, water and wind slowly shape a landscape — just as a tiny seed can slowly grow into something that lasts for generations. 🌱
