Notice the difference in leaf size on the lower right hand pic. The larger leaf belongs to a seedling or a young tree while the smaller leaf on top belongs to a mature tree. Considered as a pioneer tree, Anabiong (Trema Orientalis) belongs to the hemp family ULMACEAE
/ CANNABACEAE. Other synonymous names according to wikipedia are Pigeon Wood and Gunpowder Tree. Surprisingly, Anabiong has numerous uses. Its wood is good for paper, pulp and rope production. The leaves are a source of food for butterfly larvae and fodder for livestock, while the fruits are eaten by birds and other wildlife. It is a nitrogen fixing tree, thus it is able to enrich the soil. Usually growing in open bushland and waste places. This species is one of the fastest growing trees I've seen.
