It is also known as Khiri tree because its young twigs and leaves are torn off to produce white glue. Its scientific name is Ficus rumphii (Syn: F infectoria)... The wings have been shown solely to give a sense of proportion. Wrinkled, wide and huge. But the leaves look like ashwattha. However, less in width and a little more in length. At the end of spring, their leaves also fall off like Ashwattha. In Chaitra, bright red or tan colored leaves grow. The leaves then gradually turn dark green. The skin of the wing is usually half an inch thick, greenish, gray in color and smooth. The wood is also gray in color. At the end of the monsoon, the orange fruits ripen. There are several varieties of this species. Its propagation system is similar to that of the banyan tree. This means that the flowers depend on special species of insects for pollination and the birds eat the fruit and spread the seeds. These seeds germinate easily in the cornice of the building, cracks in the old building and any other tree canopy and consume the shelter. The bark and leaves of this tree are used for various diseases. Leaf chemicals are rich in protein, nitrogen, phosphorus and calcium. Pakur trees are mainly found in rural areas.
The leaves of the palm tree
Pakur tree is often mistaken for Ashwattha. This is because both the wing and the ashwattha are giant trees, the leaf features of the tree are almost the same and there are several species of the two trees which have almost the same appearance and features. However, it is possible to distinguish the two trees on the basis of certain characteristics. For example, the leaves of Ashwattha tree are betel-shaped (like betel leaves). The long tail of such a betel-shaped dense-green leaf is not found in any other tree. The number of twigs of this tree is very low. The fruits of Ashwattha are dark purple when ripe, while the fruits of Pakur tree are orange when ripe. [
