DENNIS S. DALAPO and CHARRIESE P. SALIGO, Department of

Forestry, University of Southeastern Philippines- Bislig Campus, June
2019 “INTRODUCTION OF Saribus rotundifolius Lam. (ANAHAW) IN
USeP- BISLIG CAMPUS: AN APPROACH TO PALMETUM PROJECT”

Adviser: ROSALIE R. BASALO

This study was conducted at the vicinity of USeP- Bislig Campus. The
study aimed to introduce Anahaw as an approach to Palmetum project
with the following specific objectives:
1. To know the percentage survival rate of Anahaw (Saribus
rotundifolius Lam.) palm in USeP-Bislig Campus.
2. To assess the apical growth performance of Anahaw (Saribus
rotundifolius Lam.) palm in USeP-Bislig Campus.
3. To assess the lateral growth performance of Anahaw (Saribus
rotundifolius Lam.) in USeP-Bislig Campus.

The study was conducted with 20 seedlings which were observed

within the two (4) months. The result of the study revealed that out of the
20 wildlings, only 70% of it survived.
