TRAVEL STORIES BY DR SING K Y - Noni-fruit trees

21 May 2023. During my walk, I was surprised to see 3 grown noni-fruit trees taller than me. Over 2 - 3 metres tall, growing on a sloping ground behind the Yio Chu Kang Road houses. They were blocked by a new bus shelter. The leaves are generally glossy green, but some older ones have been attacked by brown circular spots. Its juices are said to be therapeutic such as anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer. 

Caucasians dislike the pungent smell of noni fruits. They complain of fermented or cheesy smell. These 3 noni-fruit trees grown on public land, outside the houses. They appear to be thriving and growing straight. It is possible that the residents of the houses have taken care of their nutrition. Many wild noni-fruit trees I saw are not growing well and tall above 3 m. I seldom see many in the Yio Chu Kang area though.
