The tongkat ali tree (translated Ali's walking stick) is a well known aphrodisiac. In recent times many have tried to cash in on the potency of the plant, with products such as tongkat ali coffee, pills, ointments, satchets, and other enhancements. As a result of this great harvest of the wild plant (also known as long jack) there's been a shortage of trees and only now are authorities encouraging replanting of it. The unique tree however takes 5 years to to reach maturity.
Slender in its shape it has a fragile umbrella like leaf canopy (see diagram). It is slow growing, requires lots of soil for its deep penetrating tap root. A mature plant can reach 20 feet in height with its root taking up another 5 feet or so. The leaves are extremely bitter but its the root that imparts a ginseng like effect for the vitality of 'youthful desire' of men.
