very nice two cases of Grevillea. why are they cultivated that too on a hill or its slope?
The first one, G.pteridifolia is occassionally seen. The second one G.robusta commonly called silver oak is extensively planted in the Malnad region of Karnataka as a shade plant in Coffee plantations. It is also a very popular Farm foerstry sp. Incidentally Chikmagalur happens to be the largest producer of silver oak wood in India… Wood in very great demand for packing cases and recently for veneers
