Dear Neil,
Thanks for the confirmation. I assumed it was Vateria indica as well,
but was confused when I saw that some folks called Ailanthus triphysa
and Canarium
strictum as dhoop. I think it depends on region to region. Added to it
Vateria indica was listed on the IUCN red list as well.
Even wikipedia has listed Vateria indica as "Dhoopada mara" (meaning dhoop
tree) in Kannada. Also, Vateria indica is called as white dammar while Canarium
strictum is called as black dammar tree.
>From what I read online, Vateria indica grows straight and tall. Please
confirm the growth habit as well. Also, is it necessary for high humidity
to grow this tree? In Bangalore, the humidity plummets in Winter and Summer
(almost to the lower teens causing lot of problems to my Vandas). Hope that
it would not be a problem to this tree.
Thanks
Satish
