2.Sal: This is a common species of several types of forests of the Northeastern region of India, extending into Madhya Pradesh and Orissa.

3.Mango: This has become one of our most popular horticultural species with different varieties grown all over the country.
4.Ficus Species: Peepal, Banyan and many other ficus species form a part of this group of important trees. They are all ecologically of great importance as many different species of insects, birds and mammals live on ficus berries. The flowers are inside the berries. They are pollinated by a specific wasp which lays its eggs inside the berries on which the larvae feed and grow. Ficus species are thus known as ‘keystone’ species in the ecosystem and support a major part of the food web in several ecosystems. Ficus trees such as Peepal and Banyan are considered sacred and are protected in India.
5.Neem: This species is known as Azadirachta Indica. It has been traditionally used in indigenous medicine. It has small yellow fruit. The leaves and fruit are bitter to taste. It is used extensively as an environmentally friendly insecticide. It grows extremely well in semi-arid regions and can be planted in afforestation programs where soil is poor and rainfall is low.
