It grows quickly and grows into a strong tree and its roots can break even rocks. Some trees in Asia are said to be thousands of years old. It is the ‘Tree of Knowledge’ for the East. If Buddhism has made it the enlightened tree, Hinduism considers this sacred in many ways. In India it is venerated.</DIV></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://avialblah.blogspot.com/2008/05/go-green-under-green-wood-tree.html"><DIV><BR /><SPAN><STRONG><EM>Trees are the first living antiques.<BR /></EM></STRONG></SPAN><BR /><A href="http://avialblah.blogspot.com/2008/05/tree-of-heath-neem.html">The Tree Of Health</A></DIV></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://avialblah.blogspot.com/2008/05/go-green-under-green-wood-tree.html">the elders on realizing the healing properties of this tree have made it a habit
