    Earth's Rarest Tree

    Banerjee, Tirtho
    Hinduism Today
    09-30-2002
    NESTLED IN THE SERENE WOODS OF Barolia village near Ramnagar in the
    Barabanki district of Uttar Pradesh, India, a lone Paarijat is believed to
    be the only living example of its species in the world. The huge tree
    spreads out in a circle about 50 feet wide and reaches a height of 45 feet.
    The trunk measures 27 feet in diameter. During August, white flowers bloom, emanate an overwhelming fragrance and turn golden red on drying.

    Rod,

    Hah! Probably not too far from the truth. Bought a fair amount of ipe' 4 yrs. ago to re-skin my own deck. Talked with the distributor out of the Phila. area, Thompson Mahogany. 100 some odd year old company, that admittedly clear cut rain forest to get at the $ wood.

    Peasants were not far behind. Cleared the downed garbage wood by burning, and set about planting fields for cash crops.

    One problem. Ipe' does not burn.

    Good old American ingenuity. Now ipe' is the cat's meow!

    Jake,

    I just happen to have had my broad ax sharpened the other day. You are more than welcome to borrow it. Owls are a dime a dozen.
