Mehedi Hasan Tanim, Gurudaspur: Seeing the Krishnacura flower, it seems as if a burning flame of fire is burning. When it is very hot around the month of Baishakh-Jyastha, the stalks of Krishnacura are full of red flowers.
Not only in spring and summer, but also in the rainy season, flowers bloom on the branches of Krishnacura. In the world of flowers, bright flowers like Krishnacura can be said to be quite rare.
It is known that the original home of Krishnacura is in Madagascar. It grows in many countries of the world including Caribbean, Africa, Hong Kong, Taiwan, South China, Bangladesh, and India.
There are many species of Krishnacura. The color of their flowers varies from species to species. Krishnacura trees with yellow, vermilion, red, orange etc. flowers can be seen.
Yellow flower tree is also called Radhachura in our country. This species is on the verge of extinction in many countries. In our country, the flowering period of Krishnacura is from April to June.
It is usually propagated by seeds. It can also be propagated through organ reproduction. But in this case its growth is relatively slow.
A Krishnacura tree has a maximum height of 12 meters. The petals of Krishnacura can be about eight centimeters long. Krishnacura is usually planted as an ornamental tree. However, it also has some special qualities.
It has a role in nitrogen fixation from air and in increasing soil fertility. It also acts as a shade tree. Its wide stalks and specially folded flower petals spread all around to relieve our fatigue.
Jhalakati Forest Officer Zia Baklai said that Krishnacura tree is one of the friends of the environment as well as the beauty of nature. This tree has beauty as well as the advantage of using different wood materials including fuel wood.
