Gular Tree (Ficus racemosa , syn. Ficus glomerata Roxb.) is a beautiful Cluster Fig Fruit Plant tree with a crooked trunk and spreading crown. It's different from the banyan in that it doesn't have aerial roots, but it has its own unique features. The most distinctive aspect of this tree is the red, furry figs in short clusters that grow directly out of the trunk of the tree. You might wonder how these flowers enclosed in a ball are pollinated—and here's where it gets interesting!

The Cluster Fig Fruit flowers are pollinated by very small wasps that crawl through the opening in search of a suitable place to reproduce (lay eggs). Without this pollinator service, fig trees can't reproduce by seed. In turn, these flowers provide a safe haven and nourishment for the next generation of wasps. Gular Tree is commonly found in cities and towns, but it grows near bodies of water if it's close enough to access that water source!

Gular Tree Benefits and Uses:

Did you know that gular tree bark is a great cure for mouth infections? It's true! Gular tree bark contains a natural antiseptic and anti-inflammatory agent and is an effective way to treat mouth ulcers, oral thrush, and other oral infections.

All you need is 10 grams of bark (or leaves) and some water. Simply boil the bark in 400 milliliters of water for a few minutes, then add alum (a pinch) and filter the water before using it to rinse your mouth often. If you don't have alum on hand, use baking soda instead.

If boils have been bothering you for months or years and nothing seems to help them heal, try this treatment: take gular bark paste and apply it at the affected area three times a day for one week straight.

The gular tree (Ficus Racemosa) is one of the four Nalpamara or Nalpamaram plants according to Ayurveda. Astringent by nature, the gular tree also has anti-inflammatory, antidiabetic, antioxidant, anti-asthmatic, anti-ulcer, antipyretic, and anti-diarrheal properties. It harmonizes the pitta and kapha doshas. Gular contains tannin, wax, beta-sitosterol, leucocyanidin, lupeol, stigmasterol, glucose, tiglic acid, friedelin, and racemosic acid among its active components. It contains a lot of iron, copper, magnesium, potassium, and vitamin B2.

Ficus racemosa is the scientific name for gular, Cluster Fig Fruit or sycamore. That is a strange, enormous tree. This tree is highly esteemed in India. All of the sycamore tree's parts, including the leaves, fruits, bark, roots, and wood, are utilised for medicinal purposes.

One of the earliest cultivate fruit species, F. carica, which is currently a significant crop globally, may have its Middle Eastern origins. The common fig still grows untamed in the Mediterranean region today.

According to morphological evidence, the fig is gynodioecious, but from a functional standpoint, it is thought to be dioecious with two different tree morphs: the Capri fig and edible fig. Habitual fig cultivation areas have shrunk significantly, and genetic diversity has decreased as a result of the loss of numerous historically chosen cultivars. In reality, almost all cultivated varieties are the result of previous selection and are propagated vegetatively through cutting.
