Different types of trees and their uses in Hindi?

Answer 1

WHERE IT GROWS: This is probably the commonest tree in the country and originated in India.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION: Because of its size and splendour, and the shade it gives, it is often used (like the Mango tree) as

the central meeting place in villages. There are over 600 different kinds of fig trees growing in tropical countries. It needs lots of

space. From its branches hang roots which touch the ground, take root and support the tree. Thus the tree grows sideways,

supported by hanging roots. In this way some trees can cover large areas of ground. If all the hanging (aerial) roots were cut

down the tree would fall. It is a tall, fast growing evergreen tree. It has shallow roots and a smooth dark grey bark that peels in

patches. It can grow to enormous width and live for hundreds of years. The name Banyan may have been given to this tree,

because for centuries banyas or merchants have sheltered and traded under it.

LEAVES: The leaves appear in February-March and sometimes again in September-October. If a leaf is broken off, as in any

other fig tree, a white sticky liquid (sap) oozes out.

FLOWERS: The figs which contain the flowers grow in pairs just below the leaves and look like cherries. The figs contain a

number of flowers, both male and female. So that the banyan and all the other members of the fig family can continue to produce

seeds and increase in numbers, a kind of wasp called a fig wasp bores a hole in the figs. (In some figs there may be many different

kinds of fig wasps.) If you cut open nearly ripe figs you will see the tiny fig wasps. You may be able to find as many as eighty wasps

in one fig. They are quite harmless and won't sting you. They use the fig as their nest, where they can lay their eggs and hatch their

young. Some of the young wasps leave the figs carrying a little pollen from the male flower on their backs. This gets brushed onto

the female flower inside another fig, and thus the seeds can be formed and a new tree develop and grow.

FRUIT: The figs ripen between February and May and in some areas in August-September. They are a favourite food of

many birds, flying foxes, and other fruit-eating bats, many squirrels and certain kinds of insects. Often seeds from the figs are

dropped in strange places, for example in palm trees. The seeds grow and use the tree for support. They then grow so fast

around the palm that they kill the tree that supported them. This is why they are known as strangling figs. Trees that do this

behave like epiphytes. This means that although they use another tree for support they take their food from the atmosphere

around them through their roots.

USES: The wood of the trunk of the Banyan is not of any use but the aerial roots are strong and are used to make tent poles.

Rope is made from the bark and young aerial roots. The leaves are used as plates and many parts of the tree are used in local

medicines.
