Trees

This is Bhagavaan's Vaikrit Creation. There are six types of vegetation -

(1) Vanaspati - Which gives fruits without flowers, e.g. Goolar, Peepal, Vat (banyan) etc.

(2) Aushadhi (herbs) - Whose life span is only one time. They destroy once the fruit has ripened on them, e.g. rice, wheat, gram etc.

(3) Lataa (creepers) - Which grow with the help of something, e.g. Braahmee, Giloya etc and other creepers.

(4) Twaksaar - Whose bark is very hard, e.g. bamboo etc.

(5) Veerudh - Creepers which spread on land only because of being heavy they could not climb upward, e.g. melon, watermelon etc.

(6) Drum - Where fruits replace flowers, e.g. mango, Jaamun (roseberry) etc.
