Humpday Triviola
Thomas Skaggs, Foothills of Mount Level
The tree has been kept in a special category because it does not produce fruits and neither does it reproduce from branch cuttings. Some experts are of the view that it is a unisex male tree and that there is no other such tree in the world.
The leaves of this tree in the lower portion have five tips like the fingers of a hand, while at the upper reaches it has seven. Its flower is very beautiful and white in color, on drying out it gets a golden tinge. The flower has five petals. The tree blossoms very occasionally, with very few flowers, but when it does in June/ July, it spreads its fragrance far and wide.
The age of this tree is said to be 1000 to 5000 years. The perimeter of the trunk of this tree is around 50 feet and height of around 45 feet. There is another popular saying that, its branches do not break or dry out but shrink and disappear into the original trunk.
