Magnificent Argan Tree
Baku, March 4, AZERTAC
The Argan, as one of the rare trees, grows in the south region of Azerbaijan. Argan trees are short with a wide spreading canopy of small, oval, leathery leaves. Its trunk is twisted, and its branches bear thorns.
Argan tree flowers are small and yellow-green, and its fruits have a thick peel and soft pulp that surrounds a hard nut containing oil-rich seeds. It is very interesting that the piece of this tree neither burns in the fire nor sinks. It is impossible to drive a nail into this tree either. Duration of life of the tree growing in the Talysh woods is more than 200 years.
Another wonder is that the branches of the tree merge while rubbing with each other. As the argan tree has a strong wood, it is used in telephone and electric posts, in the construction of bridges and in making some parts of cars and instruments. Argan oil is hailed as one of the best natural ingredients for hair and skin.
