Name some large trees commonly found in your area. Find out something about them (How old are they? Who planted them? Do birds eat their fruit?), and write two or three sentences about each of them.

Some large trees commonly found in my area are:


Neem: The tree is 10yrs old and was planted by our society gardener. It has medicinal value but the leaves are bitter and be eaten. It has dark green leaves, light yellow flowers and doesn’t bear any fruits.


Frangipani: The tree is a 14-year old and was planted by my mother in our backyard when we moved to this house. It has long dark green leaves and white flowers. The flowers smell nice and my grandmother uses them for her morning prayers.
