I have another mystery for you to solve...
This tree is in my neighbors house and until a few years back I did not know about it. I just assumed it to be the usual tree planted for shade until I read an article about this wonder tree's medical property and a few days later saw a dish made with these leaves in a cookery show on TV, which I will share after unraveling the mystery next week....
Can you name the plant / tree that this leaf belongs to....
Here are some clues to help you...
- It is a large shrub or sometimes can even grow to 4-7 meters in height.It rarely flowers.
- It is used as a cattle feed.
- This is a medicinal plant that is also used in cookery.
- It is helpful in people suffering from arthritis.
I think the final clue will give away the answer......
As usual, leave a comment and you can also share the regional names and recipes.I will publish the comments and unravel the mystery next week.
Until then keep guessing....
