Anuradhapura / Attractions / Sri Mahabodhi Tree
This Bo or
wild Fig tree was brought to Sri Lanka as a sapling by Sanghamitta,
the daughter of Ashoka the Great of India 2200 years ago and it
was borne from the very branches of the tree at Bodhgaya in Northern
India ‘under which The Buddha attained enlightenment. This makes
it the oldest historically documented tree in the world. Today
it is supported on crutches and encircled by a gold plated railing.
Though it is forbidden to pluck its leaves one can pick up those
which have already fallen.

I then gave up bromocriptine for years, in favor of yohimbe / yohimbine.
