Respected Das Dangoria ,
Sincere apologies for the name slip.
I know many a Nahowr from my ancestral home in Nam-Ti , south of Xivaxagawr.
Most had one main stem with foliage tapering to Sky!!
And in a recent trip to Zhejiang Province, China I saw trees guided by tying
to grow upward conical-- very effective.

Mr.MC Mahanta,
Thanks lot. of course I am not Borah- Das( from saikia).
Nahor or Mesua Fena(Botanical name) grows like that by default.So its a less
space occupying tree as well decorative tree by nature.So only it grows in
Assam.No need to re-shape.I tried in my assam home, but it goses back to it
pride to talk about our those great kings.........Mir Jumla's ghost still might
be thinking of that tragic flying fire...haaaa
Regards.

done like restrictive tying of branches as Nahowr grows--- to create a true
cone tip?Most wild Nahowr in upper Assam are conical.mm

Axomiya ryze,
Namaskar.I happen to come across a good article on Bio-fuel in Assam-what I was
looking for long and kept writing to lot many research scientist too.Since I am
not a scientist nor a big shot,things gone to the dustbin.Now since I saw here,
I would like to request our Worlwide axomiya xamaj to think of it.
Spacial thanks to Mr Dilip Deka.

[Assam] Boon For Biofuels
Please have a look at the photos of Nahar tree, known as MESUA FENA in
botanical term.This 2 pairs of tree was grown by me from the 2 seeds in 1974
after hearing the history of it at my fathers native village Jaljalee 5 km west
of Mangaldai town.When I go home on leave/vaccations, I go and hug them with a
promise to make world famous one fine day.Now I am 44 plus...So took these
photos in 2006 June.As Mangaldai was the last kingdom of Chilarai dynasty,the
morale of patriotism and warfare is more skilled.Jaljalee area or Mangal
belongs to dare devils soldiers of koch kingdom that carry enchanting history
live in mouth.(basically I am also from the General Saikia converted to Das
when my father started writing in 1924.)
The historic legend of Nahar( Mesua Fena )is:-While in Assam history as all
know well that we never had guns.All was
Daa,kuthar,Hengdang,Sword,jathi-ballam,Bow and arrows and guerilla fight at
nights.While attacking the troops used to fix a dried Nahar seed( one seed got
2 parts or can say 2 seed) on the tip of arrow and light it with fire.It
catches fire and like petrol bom of present, it hits the enemy huts/camp and
catches fire.Or sometimes used to hit the enemy directly.
Next was lighting up the kings home( as our kings never had a palace like the
rest of India or world) with hundreds of Nahar seeds.the nahar trees was
planted in large villages and still Darrang District(Old) got lot many villages
called Naharbari( the forest of nahar).The seeds once dried in heavy sunlight
and then they are ready to be used for months.Once they are lighted, they
remain for long hours.
I did that practically.Even till I left for military in 1982, I had a big bow
and arrow made by my own hand with the traditional tribal way.So I know this
practically and since then thinking of doing great for my loving Nahar- who had
carried our great warrior forfathers name still.
May I request all to find out what could be done to make either bio petrol or
bio fuel with vanishing NAHAR TREE. Its very rare now to see this tree.
Jai aii Axom.
