Saplings of Devdaru
Nudrat Sayed
I tried answering directly to the post on Devadaru but couldnt make out how to attach pictures to my reply hence i am posting my reply seperately. Attached are pictures of saplings of Cedrus deodara. These are authenticated ones as they were bought from Forest nursery in HP for my afforestation project

Himachal Pradesh. You know some people have been against plantation of
Deodara, instead they recommend Quercus. May I know your views on the
same.
By the way, who do Deodara saplings vary in colour?

Pankaj

curiousity stems from a small booklet I have [ printed in Kerala]
where among other trees they have listed Devadaru as one of the good
trees to plant in the house compound. Maybe it's the local name for
some other tree. The botanical name is not given, just Devadaru.
Wishing you all success in your conservation efforts, Nudrat'ji.

Thank you so much Dr. Pankaj for your good wishes. People prefer
Quercus to Deodar because Quercus yields fodder and has better
survival and adaptibility. Whereas Deodar cannot be used as fodder. It
is also a slow grower. The population of Deodar is on a decline as the
environment effects these plants. I had a discussion with people in HP
and they told me that Deodar no longer attains the girth they used to
20 yrs ago.
As for variation in colour so i dont think there is any. As far as my
pics are concerned, the colour might seem different but it is purely
light effect and nothing else.

for Devadaru/Devataru. One is Cedrus Deodara and the other is
Erythroxylum monogynum [ Red cedar, Bastard Sandal]. The leaves are
said to be edible and the oil resembling the fragrance of Sandalwood.
Since the Kannada, Tamil, Telugu and Malayalam names given for this is
Devadaru, I guess this must be the Devadaru of the South.
Would anyone have more details of this tree?
Regards,
Devi.

Interesting observation regarding the girth of Cedrus deodara. Here in Southern California, USA, I have noticed that the same is true for Monterey Pine (Pinus radiata), native to California but about 100km north of my location. When I was young, this species was used widely as a landscape tree, and it regularly attained heights of over 20m very rapidly. Nowadays, it is lucky to attain heights of half that, and with considerable difficulty. I'm not certain the reasons. I used to think it was air pollution-related, but air quality has improved considerably in the LA Basin due to pollution controls implemented since the mid 1970's. I suspect that global warming has had some impact, though I have no data to prove it.
Curiously, Cedrus deodara still thrives here, but is rarely planted anymore because its large size is difficult to accommodate on small lots.

Ken Greby.
