Attachments (5) Requesting to please provide ID of this wild tree captured near Mcleodganj (Naddi), HP in October 2014. Looks like Pyrus pashia (Rosaceae). Thank you ... for the ID... Attaching the cropped pic of the fruit. Attachments (1) Yes, Pyrus pashia as suggested. it had been suggested sometime back that it may be sliced and dried and used as source of vit c a later in the season, since no many people eat this... is it being done? and used locally?// i have never seen it in markets... in Bengal.
These are blossoming now rivalling the cherry blossoms of the autumn. Most of these wild pears have been leafless for a couple of months attracting birds with their fruits in late autumn and early winter. I am quite confident that I have the correct ID as several of these I have seen in fruit before. I am also suspecting that my 14 Feb post was also this. Pyrus pashia–Himalayan Pear or Indian Wild Pear Above Mcleodganj, Dharamshala, HP 1800m 27 March 2015 very nice. do locals eat or use the fruits in any way? Thanks ... Yes, the locals eat it off the trees when these are black and soft (below) but not in a big way. Majority is still consumed by birds. Thanks, ... for completing the set with beautiful facts & pictures well, very nice, Ashwini. i am sure God created these not just for humans. somehow homo sapiens has taken to thinking (esp after the industrial revolution) that we are the center of the universe... a little spiritual meditation or day dreaming brings birds, animals, little children and then us. in that order. dont you think so? I feel the same way ... Local children always had an eye for wild fruits but that sadly is changing as they spend less time outdoors. That means the birds have a feast. I have seen most species on a pear tree one time or the other and have managed to photograph a couple. Variegated Laughing and Blue Whistling thrushes, the Grey-winged Blackbird, Great Barbet, Rufous Sibia, Himalayan Bulbul, Grey-headed Woodpecker, Yellow-billed Blue Magpie…the list goes on. Here are some images; Thanks, ..., You certainly are a wonderful photographer with knowledge of both flora & fauna. just this weekend the Sunday Statesman magazine 8th day had this old essay reprinted (as they do always) on the last page Its about the birds that come to the coral tree but not to similar flowers of Butea monosperma (i wondered why). and he also talks of the great mimicker bird the Chloropsis i do not know any thing about this Jendron's bird. I though you would enjoy this look back at the diary of a bird watcher. Thank you very much ... for this. M Krishnan is one of my favourite authors and his books ‘Of Birds and Birdsong’ and 'Nature’s Spokesman’ are my treasured possessions. I strongly recommend him to those who are not yet familiar with his wonderful writing. mine too. love those two books Rosaceae Fortnight- Pyrus pashia from Himachal-GSG11/Sept 2015: 1 post by 1 author Pyrus pashia, locally known as 'Kainth'/ 'Shegal' in different areas in the state.
