I am a jak tree

I live in my master’s garden. I was brought here when I was a little sapling.

Now, I am a very big tree and I have a tap root and many branches.

My young fruit is called polos. My mature fruits are known as jak, waraka and wela.

My trunk is very strong but my master cuts me when he needs wood.

But, I say,” I am a valuable tree and please protect me”.
