It is a matter of astonishment to many that the luscious mango, Mangifera indica, one of the most celebrated of Indian fruits, is a member of the family Anacardiaceae - notorious for embracing a number of highly poisonous plants.
The mango tree is erect, 30 to 100 ft high, with a broad, rounded canopy which may, with age, attain 100 to 125 ft in width, or a more upright, oval, relatively slender crown. In deep soil, the taproot descends to a depth of 20 ft, the profuse, wide-spreading, feeder root system also sends down many anchor roots which penetrate for several feet.
The tree is long-lived, some specimens being known to be 300 years old and still fruiting. Nearly evergreen, alternate leaves are borne mainly in rosettes at the tips of the branches and numerous twigs from which they droop like ribbons on slender petioles 1 to 4 in long. Hundreds and even as many as 3,000 to 4,000 small, yellowish or reddish flowers, 25% to 98% male, the rest hermaphroditic, are borne in profuse, showy, erect, pyramidal, branched clusters 2 1/2 to 15 1/2 in high.
There is great variation in the form, size, color and quality of the fruits. They may be nearly round, oval, ovoid-oblong, or somewhat kidney-shaped, often with a break at the apex, and are usually more or less lop-sided.

Jordanville Technical School opened in 1954 on a site between Damper and Gardiner's Creeks (see J 10 in the 1966 Melways). This posed problems not solved until, due to continued housing development, Damper Creek was replaced by a drain and Gardiner's Creek was diverted. This made 'grounds improvement' possible. The technical schools predated the first high school in the area, Ashwood High School opening in 1958. This was perhaps an indication of the perceived social status of the working class Jordanville Housing Commission estate.
Ashwood College was formed in 1988 from the merger of Ashwood High School and Jordanville Technical School. The new school was located on the High School site and the Technical School site, across the road, was edeveloped for housing in 1993.

Baobabs will make a handsome addition to a large garden, estate, or large parkland providing the soil is not waterlogged. Baobabs cannot tolerate even mild frost. When they are young, baobabs do not resemble their adult counterparts, the stems are thin and inconspicuous, and their leaves are simple and not divided into the five to seven lobes of the adult trees.
Saplings can be effectively grown in containers or tubs for many years before becoming too large and requiring to be planted into the ground. In this manner one can move them out of the cold into a warm position in a glasshouse or indoors behind a sunny window to prevent frost damage.

Julia and I decided to be a bit adventurous as get this bitter vegetable for a stir fry. When I asked the lady in the shop, in Cantonese, what this was called, she paused and said that it was called "rau rang" in Vietnamese. She said it was good for cooling the system, very good for you, but extremely bitter. Stir fry with dried shrimp was her command.
... and so I did a Rau Rang stir fried with Sambal Belacan, and yes, it was very bitter! Quite tender once you removed the more fibrous root sections, but bitter, very bitter.
I think that it is part of the purslane (Portulaca oleracea ) family, with succulent stems and short stubby leaves.
If anyone can confirm this, please leave a comment, or send me a flickrmail.
Update 2007.10.30: I happened to stumble upon the name rau dang / foo yip (Cantonese for 苦叶 or bitter leaf) on the pages of the Department of Primary Industries, Victoria, via Multilingual Multiscript Plant Name Database of Melbourne University.
The MMPND is amazing! The list of Malay index of banana names alone is amazing. And I thought I knew a thing or two about bananas :P
Update 2008.03.04: Rau Dang - [(Viet), Foo Yip (Cantonese), Glinus oppositifolius] apparently...
Update 2010.08.21: Mystery solved thanks to the Vietnamese Cuisine, Herbs section in the Wikipedia. This is rau đắng, or Bacopa monnieri. Used raw as a herb as a topping for soups rather than stir-fried as a side dish.

Family: Bombacaceae (baobab family)
Origin: Tropical America
Adult trees produce several hundred 15 cm seed pods. The pods contain seeds surrounded by a fluffy, yellowish fibre that is a mix of lignin and cellulose.
A similar fibre is found in the Indian Bombax ceiba (also known as Bombax malabaricum or "silk-cotton tree"). It is termed Indian kapok and is darker in colour and less buoyant than the true variety.
Ceiba is also the national tree of both Guatemala and Puerto Rico.
