Jhau Gach or Jhau Gachh is very common shrub of India. Rarely we miss to have shot of our dear one standing in front of a Jhau Gach. Jhau gach is the bengali name of the shrub and I was really surprised to know that nobody care about its origin. When I asked others about the tree they simply replied "Itz just a jhau gach!"
The origin of the tree is Autralia, where it is know are oak or ironwood/beefwood. The name of the genus is Casuarina and there are more than 17 species in the family Casuarinaceae, almost all are native to Australasia. In India they are known by different names in different parts, like Vilayati Saru in UP, Bihar, MP etc. ; chouk in Chennai and other southern part.
Well! no more gyan enjoy the beauty of the evergreen shrub and next time never forget to have a click in front of them!
Cheers!!!

Thanks a lot! Please keep in touch!
I'm the sort of guy who loves to try revolutionary things. Presently I'm building my personal pv panels. I am managing it all by myself without the aid of my men. I'm utilizing the net as the only path to acheive that. I discovered a very amazing website which explains how to make pv panels and so on. The place explains all the steps needed for photovoltaic panel construction.
I'm not exactly sure about how accurate the info given there iz. If some experts over here who had experience with these things can have a see and give your feedback in the site it would be awesome and I'd extremely treasure it, cauze I truly would love to try solar panel construction.
Thanks for reading this. U guys are the best.
Hi, The photo is great but this is not Casuarina equisetifolia , rather it appears to be a cypress of some sort.
