sápkuSurngisán kubauEnglishtree typeThe sápku is a tree that is large and of medium height. This tree does not produce branches quickly (i.e. not low to the ground). When it is tall enough, then it produces branches. It has sap and it is white. Its leaves are like kapuk leaves. This tree they make into outrigger canoes, however it has small holes in the trunk, and so they plug the little holes with sap from the katit tree so the water will not leak from them (into the canoe).1.5Planttree/plant
