However, all homesteads are usually covered by dense and lush green foliage of a wide variety of trees. Most of the trees grown in homestead forests are fruitbearing. Mangoes, although poor in quality, grow in abundance. Almond or badam ("Arachis hypogea") are unusual. Other common trees are jack fruit ("Artocarpus heterophyllus"), black berry ("Syzygium cumini"), tamarind ("Tamarindus indica"), jalpai ("Elaeocarpus tectorius"), bel ("Aegle marmelos"), chalta ("Dillenia indica"), boroi, guava ("Psidiumguagava"), etc. Banana ("Banana musa sapientum") is seen almost everywhere but the fruit quality is rather poor.
