Dear list members,
I want to inform you folks about the
existence of two Himalayan wild growing flowering trees, virtually unknown,
but deserving full promotion. One is locally called KARIALE and the other
is PAJA.
KARIALE, which is Bauhinia variegata
has a very magnifient bloom of 5-6 week' duration. The floweer buds are
edible and sold at the local vegetable shops. The foliage is used as
fodder. This plant has sevreral medicinalk uses too.
PAJA (Prunus cerasoides var.
majestica) has a very unique trait. It flowers in October-November.
This tree also has several uses.
Both the trees grow in forests in the
mid-hill regions. The need to be promoted as new flowering
trees.
The group members interested in more
information alongwith pictures about these plants may e-mail
me.
