Bodhi root (Powerswood)

Bodhi root

When you peel the skin of the fruit of the Baitaraju tree, you will find a shiny ivory fruit like this.
As it is used, it changes to a light brown amber color, which resembles the root of the Bodhi tree, hence the name "Bodhi Root."
The lifespan of a tree is said to be 60 to 70 years, but the Bodhi root only bears fruit once, at the very end of its life.
The leaves of the Kaitara tree have the property of turning a dark brown when they are dried and scratched, and this property was used to copy Buddhist scriptures.
