A tree found commonly in your state:

Two minutes’ exercise: Cue card

Well, my state is known for great green cover.

And it has great wealth of tree varieties, too

The one I would like to talk about is the most common coconut tree.

To begin with, this tree is so common in our state.

And our state is named after this tree.

That is, Keralam in Malayalam means the land of Kera trees.

Something, special about this tree, I think, is that it is ubiquitous.

There is no family in the countrysides without at least a coconut tree.

Coming to its other features, it is a tree of great significance.

Primarily, it is a tree of spiritual and cultural significance.

That is, coconut is seen as a sign of wealth and prosperity.

And people use it on all major occasions:

Like marriages, poojas, rituals and ceremonies.

Secondly, all the parts of this tree are useful someway.

Its trunk is so hard and lasting that people use it for furniture.

Its leaves are also useful. Plaited leaves are used for thatching roofs

And coconut kernel and oil products are widely used in Kerala dishes

And finally, its shell and husk are raw materials.

They are used for coir products and many artifacts.

All the other parts, say, its dry bunches,

its pods and leaf bones, to mention a few, are used as firewood.

Well, it would be unfair if I don’t mention about tender coconut.

It is a great health drink, which both the natives and tourists like alike.

Even doctors recommend it. It is a rejuvenating drink for patients.

Those who suffer from dehydration, diarrhoea etc get seedy recovery.

So this tree is socially, medically and spiritually significant.

That is all about it.
