Jagadish Chandra Bose's Legacy Lives On: Twin Bakul Trees Endure in Howrah

• Two Bakul trees planted by Acharya Jagadish Chandra Bose in Howrah continue to thrive, attracting visitors from across Bengal.
• These trees have withstood major natural disasters like Amphan and Aila, standing as a testament to his memory.
• Bose conducted extensive plant research at his Phuleshwar bungalow in Howrah, where he planted these trees.
• He identified one tree as female (bearing fruit and flowers) and the other as male (only green leaves), a distinction still observed today.
• The site, marked by a plaque and protected by a concrete wall, hosts annual celebrations of Bose's birthday on November 30.
