Bodhi or Peepel is the "Bo Tree", Ficus religiosa. In climates with cold winters, it makes a pretty good houseplant, but then wouldn't get large enough to produce wood. Sal tree: Shorea robusta http://www.forestryimages.org/browse/subimages.cfm?sub=3421 Chir Pine or Himalayan long leaf pine: Pinus roxburghii Sargent Could you mean "damar", rather than "demur"? Perhaps other group members can help you with the other trees. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
