Bangalore - RA - Dalbergia Sissoo - Indian Rosewood Tree - Shisham: Its flowering now (14.2.12). Shisham is a medium to large deciduous tree, native to India, with a light crown which reproduces by seeds and suckers. It can grow up to a maximum of 25 m in height and 2 to 3 m in diameter, but is usually smaller. Trunks are often crooked when grown in the open. Leaves are leathery, alternate, pinnately compound and about 15 cm long. Flowers are whitish to pink, fragrant, nearly sessile, up to 1.5 cm long and in dense clusters 5-10 cm in length. Pods are oblong, flat, thin, strap-like 4-8 cm long, 1 cm wide, and light brown. They contain 1-5 flat bean-shaped seeds 8-10 mm long. They have a long taproot and numerous surface roots which produce suckers. It is primarily found growing along river banks below 900 m elevation, but can range naturally up to 1300 m. Shisham is best known internationally as a premier timber species of the rosewood genus. However, Shisham is also an important fuel wood, shade, and shelter. With its multiple products, tolerance of light frosts and long dry seasons, this species deserves greater consideration for tree farming, reforestation and agro forestry applications. After teak, it is the most important cultivated timber tree in India, planted on roadsides, and as a shade tree for tea plantations. Ref. Flowers of India This tree is source of most valuable wood in our Area (Haryana) I could capture some close up shots yesterday. The mature flowers turn from white to yellow. Family : Fabaceae Subfamily : Faboideae Thanks for sharing the nice photographs. It is very difficult to take the photographs of small flowers showing all the details. This is my personal experience. I could not take. Agreed ... I was waiting to take good photographs of the flowers for last few years. Could manage this time.

An occasional tree is in bloom at present; the rest will follow slowly. Family : Fabaceae Faboideae I attach two more interesting photographs of this tree (Dalbergia sissoo). In these photographs the tree can be seen with another one (the left one in the first photograph) - Terminalia chebula. Sometimes two saplings of different species are planted here during any plantation programme and both of them survive. I don't know if this practice is scientific or not. very nice... but in kolkata streets we dont see them... I wonder why?/ I could not read the platform name.. looks like dobla.... or something... what platform is it, can you say it? The railway platform is GOBRA which is about 20 km from Howrah and next to DANKUNI on Howrah-Bardwan-Chord line. Thank you Sir. I attach here two more photos that i shot in 2009.

Dalbergia sissoo :: Jodhpur :: 24 OCT 18 : 5 posts by 4 authors. 3 images. Jodhpur Umaid Bhawan Date: October 24, 2018 ... Altitude: about 230 m (750 feet) asl Dalbergia sissoo DC. Wood is used for making excellent musical instrument guitar which is highly popular is Asian countries such as China. Unfortunately Govt of India has banned its export which is adversely affecting livelihood of many. ..., i have to disagree on this one issue here, sorry, really sorry. khama korben. everything does not have to be exported to make money or a livelihood. India now has a burgeoning upwardly mobile middle class and working class that will become middle class in next decade or so, there is a great deal need for of locally available good and better quality wood furniture in this country. govt of india may have done something right for a change in a long time. though i think import ban in 50 60 70 and part of 80s was a very good idea. did not swell china's coffers with our money, growing up then, iknow i wished we had nice european cloth, but then my taught us and the indian museum on chowringhee showed us how most of what we thought as european was really indian cloth, printed there and imported. and the perfumes, basic material sources with a few exception were from the indian subcontinent or asia. that cured me of the hankering n my teens. i am content to use locally grown locally made stuff for the most part. but i do live in modern era, cant avaoid imports. yet ... locally grown locally manufactured, in whatever country is a good thing for economy and MORALE of the people. You must have noticed that we have become dependent on imports for even our puja pandal lights. the other day i saw even Vishnu murti by the thousands made in china along with ganesha laxmi shiv hanuman and most things for home puja and the vendors said we donot like to work so hard and cheap as the chinese!!! another ready made embroidered motif seller said the same thing five days apart. bojo tthela!!! i feel its a shame. india is not only loosing foreign exchange, but also its hard working classes's working ethics. and we say we dont have industries. we have microindustries, they need raw materials, like wood. --- if i hurt your feelings,nijo gune khama kore Deben. Thanks, ... We have played in these woods in our childhood. References: |
