It was featured in leading news papers few years back. It was tested
by Prof R Sukumars team in Mudumalai WLS.
I have tried it once and got little water. But I realized that the act
damages the tree to a great extant and I never repeated the same

Dear Prashant ji, and all,
The glands shown in the pictures, is the typical sign of terminalia
species. In T.arjuna, T.chebula, T. bellerica, T. bialata all are
showing these glands.
Nice shots! thanx for the sharing.

hello,

It is requested to field botanists to clear doubts on identifying Terminalia crenulata, T alata T coriacea and T paniculata through leaves, bark and gland size - location variation (photos will be more beneficial).
