Some fruit-bearing trees are being studied as possible alternative to timber, the Department of Science and Technology said on Friday (May 27, 2022). (PNA file photo by Ben Briones) MANILA - The Department of Science and Technology (DOST) is looking at fruit-bearing trees as possible alternatives to commercial timber due to the "insignificant movement of the wood during drying," Secretary Fortunato de la Pena said on Friday. "Old, fruit-bearing trees that abound in rural areas may help address the local wood industries' huge demand for raw materials. Many of these trees get uprooted whenever there are strong typhoons," de la Pena said in a taped report aired in the afternoon.
