Audumber tree is difficult for plantation , so if you saw a small Audumber sapling , then take it home very carefully, plant it in a carry bag full of soil and cow dung . when you notice new leaves , means it is growing in new environment. After a month replant this Audumber tree in a better place where there is no harm eg. Near road side , in devalaya, near river, near school , in industrial areas, on hills. We request to all readers please plant 108 Audumber trees in life , by this you can achieve blessings of Lord Dattareya and sayujya mukti. |
