Ipoh Trip Dec 2007 - Kledang’s Tree 01

It’s a tree without leaves on the cliff. It looked lonely and poor. It is looking at the other side of the mountain, and I think it has something to tell us. I was asking myself why does its leaves all gone.

Is it because of too dry? Or was it infected by disease? Or is it now the season for it to drop its leaves? Winter? (Not in Malaysia as I know because of the tropical climate.) I keep on guessing.

I’m afraid that it comes to the end of the trees’ life. Will there be a chance that the new leaves will grow again? I am not worry about the trees that drop their leaves in winter, but here is Malaysia, a country with 4 seasons. It will be more changllenging for them to survive. They are supposed to be evergreen in tropical climate though.

With or without options, the trees have to give up their leaves like humans turn bold headed when the time has come. However, the trees are still looking good and special without those leaves. Do you notice that they actually look like a big bonsai among other trees in the forest?

The younger generation nowadays like to dye their hairs into all sorts of colours. For trees, the higher their altitute are, the more different colours they’ll have.

I wish the leafless tree good luck and have all their leaves back as soon as possible. I would like to remind the tree, if it were going to have new leaves, don’t forget to dye them into red colour like this tree, so that I can notice them.
