Pippal tree

Post by Muhammad Arif Khan »

A tree you find germinating where nothing else will dare, cracks in the walls , cracks at base of walls, roof tops, hollows of trees and yet no one wants it now. The tree was good only for its shade which is not required any more.
Yesterday I visited my roof top Amaryllis garden and found 5, 2 feet high Pippal plants in active growth, surprised as to where the were getting their nourishment I pulled them and found, having germinated in dost between the pots the roots had found hole in the bottom of the pot and were growing in the pots. One plant had roots in two pots.

Does it made cracks in the roof? I have also seen this flourished tree when I was in school and it cracked the ground of the school from which playing cricket was made very difficult. Shots were stopped by this tree. :x
