The Sundarban Delta derived its name from the sundari tree.
Sundari trees can reach a height of 60 feet and a circumference of six feet. This tree's timber is used for boatbuilding and joinery, bridge construction, house construction, utility poles, and tool handles. Sundari means beautiful in Bengali, while ban means forest. Thus, the name 'Sunderban.' These trees can be found in West Bengal and Bangladesh's littoral woods.
Pine trees, also known as Chir pine trees, are predominantly found in the mountains of Kashmir, Sikkim, Bhutan, Nepal, and the southern section of Tibet.
Peepal trees can be found across India. It is mostly grown in Kerala, Madhya Pradesh, Bihar, and Haryana in India.
