Abstract / Content summary	Pili (Canarium ovatum) is an important nut-producing tree in the Bicol region of the Philippines, though it is mainly a backyard tree. The tree is a regular and heavy bearer of one of the tastiest nuts in the world. The kernel is very nutritious and is a desirable raw material for the commercial production of edible oil. The pulp is also edible and contains some oil, but its greatest use in agriculture is in compost making, being rich in nitrogen and potassium. The shell is a good material for making ornaments and charcoal, although this potential has not been tapped. [Part Introduction]
