Sir / Madam,

This is BAATAABI LEBU in Bengali, a common tree in Hooghly that can be found in backyard or in orchard in rural area. Since this is not the flowering time, also attaching an old flower pic that i might have uploaded earlier. Last November found female Common Baron butterflies feeding on its rotten fruit.

Species : Citrus maxima Merr.
Habit & Habitat : tree, garden variety
Date : 06-05-2012, 08-02-2012 (flowers), 15-11-2011 (butterflies)
Place : Nalikul (Hooghly), WB

Thank you & Regards,

Surajit Koley

Thank you Sir for your kind feedback.

This tree doesn't need any special care to grow. Saplings are available all over south Bengal. Plant it and forget it... i think good quality saplings can produce fruits in 4 to 5 years span.

Regards,
