 The Oudamber Tree -at Anandashram , Kanhangad

 This Oudamber is a very old tree; growing  with a Bilwa Tree bearing fruit and Ixxora plant with floweres.
Spiritually and symbolically these 3  Trees/ plants  represent Shri Dattatreya, Lord  Shiva and Shree Devi.

 Ixxora flowers

 Despite the trunk having being hollowed out (decay) damage, -the Tree has productive branches and at lower portion of the trunk a new small branch and fruits growing even.

Any advice on the hollowing out of the tree trunk, cause, reason etc  by a Botanist or Tree Expert (Arborealist) will be most welcome.

I have never seen such a remarkable Tree growing despite damage on the trunk-

The Regenerative capacity of a Tree is  truly  Divine and so it does so much good.
