Strangely the only tree species in Vietnam has a special ability: Born and raised

Just a species of woody plants, but this plant makes everyone surprised by the strange ability: born and raised "children" like animals.

This particular species is called Black Parrot . Not only is the world's most bizarre possibility in the world and Vietnam because it is possible to 'give birth', this plant is also known for its great use in treating many diseases or has significant value in production, business.

Black parrot trees are popular in central coastal provinces and mangroves in southern provinces from Dong Nai to Ca Mau.

Parrots (parrot parrots, parrots) , with the most common form of black parrots, the scientific name is Bruguiera sexangula , which is a type of mangrove shrub found in places frequently affected by tides or alluvial soil is depositing. In Vietnam, black parrots are popular in central coastal provinces and mangroves in southern provinces from Dong Nai to Ca Mau.

This particular tree has the most extraordinary ability in the world and Vietnam because it can 'give birth'.

Black parrots are woody plants with well-developed conical cylindrical breaths, 30 - 25m high, smooth shells, ash-gray or light brown. Plants have long oval leaves, tough, yellow flowers grow alone, fruits have curved sepals, bell-shaped roots. Black parrots often flower in March-April range, have fruits in May-June, sometimes flowering and fruits almost all year round. This species grows and grows fast, strongly sprouting.

Black parrots grow and grow fast in alluvial alluvial soil, mangrove forests, strong buds, sometimes flowering and fruits all year round.

What makes a black parrot special and strange that rare plants can do is its magic ability to "give birth" . Basically, like other plant plants, black parrots also reproduce and maintain the race by flowering, pollinating and pollinating to create seeds. However, while the seeds of other plants separated from the mother's body, fell to the ground, from the ground itself absorbed nutrients and took root, germinated into seedlings, the seeds of the parrot tree. germinate into seedlings right on the trunk of the mother tree.

This strange way of "giving birth" and "raising children" of the black parrot tree is similar to the reproduction of animals.

When being 'nurtured' by a mother tree, developing to a certain level and being able to live independently, then the black parrot is separated from its mother's body, falling into mud, rooted and raising itself. yourself. In other words, this strange way of 'giving birth' and 'raising children' of black parrot is similar to the reproduction of animals: after pregnancy, giving birth, 'mothers' will raise take care of your children until they 'have enough feathered wings', enough to live independently to let them leave.

When the mother 'nourished', developed to the extent of being able to live independently, then the black parrot is separated from its mother's body, falling into the mud layer, rooted and raising itself.

This is an extremely rare phenomenon in plants in the world and in Vietnam, and the current black parrot tree is the only one with such incredible ability. The reason that the tree has this characteristic is also to adapt to the habitat in the mangrove area, if it reproduces in a normal way, the seed will be swept away, unable to take root and develop.
