_seedling_in_RDA,_Bogra_01.jpg)
Asvakarna is a deciduous tree. Usually grows upto 35 - 50 metres tall. The tree is harvested from the wild mainly for the oleo-resin in its trunk. This is used locally and also exported. The tree also yields a timber of low quality, though this is used on a large scale in the manufacture of plywood.
