Tree Descriptions

In this section we will get to know the trees in more details. This section is sub divided into 10 pages each belonging to a leaf type mentioned in introduction (as well as here). Within each leaf type, generally more common trees will be mentioned first. Each tree will have a collage picture followed by a short, one paragraph description. After this short description I am slowly adding a "More..." link which will take you to the detail description of the tree.
