Plants that Provide Shelter

In the Philippines most residential houses are made chiefly of wood from lumber of the timber of forest trees. Typical houses built in farms,barrios and even in large towns or some cities,bamboos and nipa shingles are used. There are houses now made which are processed from the trunks of coconut trees. Some materials from plants which are used in making sheds or nuts are cogon grass,palm leaves and even banana leaves.
