City of Bogo's name origin has always been embedded in the heart and soul of every Bogohanon. It is no mystery that the name points to the Bogo trees that thrived in the place where early people came to trade. The tree is called by other names in different provinces and countries.

Planting Your Own Bogo Tree

Clear the area where you want to plant your seedling with unwanted weeds and debris. Make sure that a one-meter radius is kept free from other vegetation. Dig a plant hole with dimensions of at least 20 cm x 20 cm x 20 cm. Plant the seedling at proper depth. Root collar should be at level with or a little below the ground surface with the seedling oriented upward. Fill the hole with top or garden soil and press soil firmly around the base of the seedling. In plantation-making, seedlings should maintain a two-meter distance between seedlings if planted in a row of a three-meter distance from one strip to the next strip.
