Question

Chyur tree is commonly known as ‘Phulwara’ in northern India, ‘Chyur’ in Nepal, and ‘Gophal’

in Bengal. It is found in the Himalayan regions at an altitude of 500 to 1200 meters.

Chyur tree resembles an umbrella. This tree is large and shady with dense leaves.

Its pulpy fruit gets a thick skin on ripening. People in the mountains call it Kalpavriksha.

It is also known as ‘Indian Butter Tree’ as it produces oilseeds, rich in oil contents,

and at lower temperature transforms into fat and looks like butter or ghee.


Fertile, moist soil is required for planting and growing Chyur trees. It bears flowers and

fruits from October to January. As this tree blossoms, the atmosphere becomes fragrant

and fascinating. The honey made from its flowers is of high quality and is full of nutrients.

The oil extracted is called the ghee of Chyur.


Local people extract juice from its flowers and boil it to make jaggery. Ayurvedic physicians

use it as medicine. The seed oil, honey, and gur make the tree prominent in the rural economy.

Many cosmetic industries in India use a chemical called palmolic oil which is made from the

oil of this tree. Oil cake left after extracting the oil is used as manure in the fields.

This oil cake contains a chemical called saponin from which pesticide is made. If the

chemical is separated from the oil cakes, it can be utilised as a nutritious food for animals.

Chyur trees contribute greatly towards the prevention of landslides and soil erosion.

Its long and broad leaves have the ability to collect soil, water, and food materials.


For the past many years, the Government of India has been formulating various plans for

making the country self-sufficient in edible and non-edible oils. Whereas the wasteland

development has been one of the thrust areas in the Government plans, on the one hand,

the self-sufficiency in edible and non-edible oils has been identified as a timely demand

on the other. Keeping in view of the above, the plantation of Chyur trees on wastelands

throughout the Himalayan sub-tropical belt and in the Andaman and Nicobar

Islands would be a prudent and wise measure.
