This tree is one of the most photographed landmarks in UPLB, next to Oblation. Located at the edge of the UPLB oval, the tree serves as a resting place for many joggers, students, athletes and many other kinds of living creatures by day and a nesting place for lovers and couples at night.
Scientifically known as Samanea saman, this acacia tree is known for its grand canopy and the rumors that was built around and under its shade.
From generations past, the tree was called fertility tree for the countless and ageless stories of lovers and couples making the tree witness to many promiscuous and intimate moments. Again, rumors has it, because I have not seen nor witnessed anything, that many babies have been born out of the fertility powers of the tree and condoms were seen within its grounds.
