In Mindanao tribes a widower must give 100 plates to his father in law before seeking another wife, a practice called the widow tax.

A dwarf Japanese pine named Chabo Hiba sold for 1200 dollars stands six feet high and is claimed to be 850 years old. An ancient method of dwarfing trees is now said to be simple, with a recipe using an orange as a mold to grow a miniature oak. The orange is hollowed, filled with mold, an acorn placed inside, and the shoot guided to emerge. Roots are shaved as growth occurs, producing a five to six inch high tree in a year. When roots stop growing the orange shell is varnished and planted. Japanese families maintain generations of dwarfing know how, and miniature trees, even 500 year old oaks, can be bought from descendants.
