The Mohwa is one of the most important of Indian forest trees, not for its timber but for its delicious flowers. To the people of Central India it provides the most important article of food as the flowers can be stored almost indefinitely.
The Mohwa tree has a large thick grey bark. Most of the leaves fall from February to April and during that time the second flowers appear hanging in close bunches of a dozen or so. It is at night that the trees bloom and at dawn each short-lived flower falls to the ground. A couple of months after the flowering period the fruit opens. They are fleshy green berries. They are quite large and contains from one to four shiny, brown seeds.
The gathering of the edible Mohwa flowers is an important business to the country people. Below the tree the ground is cleared and swept and dawn blooms are collected and allowed to dry out on the earth. The flowers taste something like pressed figs. Sugar puddings and other sweetmeats are made from them. All parts of the fruits, both ripe and unripe are used. A thick oil is extracted from the kernels, which being yellowish, give it the name of 'Butter Tree'. The oil is used for cooking, making soap and candles.
Why is Mohwa one of the most important of Indian forest trees ?
