Twisted coconut tree draws crowds in Basilan

A coconut tree with a twisted trunk in Lamitan City, Basilan has caught the attention of residents.

With its trunk curved into the shape of a slithering snake is about 30 meters tall.

Officials at the Lamitan City Agriculture Office themselves are bewildered with the shape of the tree.

However, the tree may have to be cut down soon as it is infected with cocolisap, a pest that prevents trees from bearing fruit. — GMA Stringer Hero Bacuño/BAP, GMA News
