Legends in Thailand and other Buddhist countries say that the Lord
Buddha died under a Sara Tree and for this reason, the tree is often
found in temple compounds. However, that tree was the Sala Tree, Shorea robusta, a different species. The "Cannonball Tree" name comes from its
fruit which is about the size of a softball and very hard. |
