 PALM TREE

Borassus flabellifer, commonly

known as doub palm, palmyra
palm, tala or tal palm, toddy palm,
wine palm or ice apple is native to
the Indian subcontinent and
Southeast Asia. It is reportedly
naturalized in Socotra and parts of
China. Palmyrah (Borassus
flabellifer) is the state tree of
Tamil Nadu. From the leaves
being used for manuscripts, to the
split trunk being used as roof
joists, palmyrah trees had been an
integral part of Tamil life
COCONUT TREE
The coconuttree (Cocos nucifera) is a member of the
palm tree family (Aceraceae) and the only living
species of the genus Cocos. The term "coconut" (or
the archaic "cocoanut") can refer to the whole
coconut palm, the seed, or the fruit, which
botanically is a drupe, not a nut. The name comes
from the old Portuguese word coco, meaning "head"
or "skull", after the three indentations on the coconut
shell that resemble facial features. They are
ubiquitous in coastal tropical regions and are a
cultural icon of the tropics.

 ● It is one of the most useful trees in the world and

is often referred to as the "tree of life". It provides
food, fuel, cosmetics, folk medicine and building
materials, among many other uses. The inner flesh of
the mature seed, as well as the coconut milk
extracted from it, form a regular part of the diets of
many people in the tropics and subtropics.
MANGO TREE
A Mango is an edible stone fruit produced
by the tropical tree Mangifera indica
which is believed to have originated from
the region between northwestern
Myanmar, Bangladesh, and northeastern
India. M. indica has been cultivated in
South and Southeast Asia since ancient
times resulting in two distinct types of
modern mango cultivars: the "Indian
type" and the "Southeast Asian type“.
Other species in the genus Mangifera also
produce edible fruits that are also called
"mangoes", the majority of which are
found in the Milesian ecoregion.
BANYAN TREE
A banyan, also spelled "banian", is a fig
that begins its life as an epiphyte, i.e. a
plant that grows on another plant, when
its seed germinates in a crack or crevice
of a host tree or edifice. "Banyan" often
specifically denominates Ficus
benghalensis (the "Indian banyan"),
which is the national tree of India With
its large number of aerial roots, which
grow from the branches and run
vertically to the ground, The Great
Banyan is said to appear more like a
dense forest than as an individual tree.
JACK FRUIT TREE
The jackfruit (Artocarpus heterophyllus),
also known as jack tree, is a species of
tree in the fig, mulberry, and breadfruit
family (Moraceae). Its origin is in the
region between the Western Ghats of
southern India and the rainforests of
Malaysia.
The jack tree is well-suited to tropical
lowlands, and is widely cultivated
throughout tropical regions of the world.
It bears the largest fruit of all trees,
reaching as much as 55 kg (120 pounds)
in weight, 90 cm (35 inches) in length,
and 50 cm (20 inches) in diameter
