Ghaf Tree - The national tree of the United Arab Emirates

in HiveGarden2 years ago
I'm ready and I started last day when I got home. We went to the park where I was picking up the dry leaves next to the gutter where the car was parked. I do this every year in August or September to prepare for planting.

This leaf is similar to the tamarind leaf and the tamarind leaf cannot be immediately used as a fertilizer on the ground even if it is dry because the tamarind leaf has a unique characteristic that is like sour vinegar, in other words, acid.

For everyone's knowledge this leaf is from the so-called Ghaf Tree. The Ghaf Tree is the national tree of the United Arab Emirates. Its leaves and the bark of theGhaf Tree are flammable so the tree and the leaves around it are often wet every morning when the gardener waters the plants.

Every time spring is near, they cut its branches with almost no leaves left. But after only two to three months, its new leaves and branches quickly recover. Its branches and body are used in other things as its body is used as fuel or decoration. The leaves, as I do, are mixed with sand and turned into fertilizer.

No matter where I go in the UAE, there are Ghaf Trees. Another characteristic of this tree is due to the size and quantity of its small branches; it serves as a shelter for people and a nest for birds. The only thing surprising about this tree is the seed. Because its seeds are not eaten by birds, but the flowers are often eaten by birds.

This is one of the beautiful things that I have shared with everyone today and the importance of its use in the UAE.

Often the branches of the Graf Tree are used here to support the roof of the ancient Arabs.
