    जलवायु: यसलाई धेरै हेरचाहको आवश्यकता पर्दैन र यो सुक्खा तथा कम उब्जाउ भएको जमिनमा पनि सजिलै बाँच्न सक्छ।

    संरक्षण: यसको दूध आँखामा पर्दा दृष्टि गुम्ने सम्मको खतरा हुने हुनाले आवासीय क्षेत्रभन्दा केही टाढा वा बारको रूपमा यसलाई लगाउनु उपयुक्त हुन्छ। पछिल्लो समय वन विनाशका कारण यस्ता उपयोगी रूखहरू कम हुँदै गएकाले सामुदायिक वनहरूमा यसको संरक्षण गर्नु आवश्यक छ।

     

    निष्कर्ष

    खिर्रो रूख हाम्रो पहाडी पारिस्थितिक प्रणालीको एक महत्वपूर्ण हिस्सा हो। पशुपालनदेखि संगीतका उपकरण निर्माणसम्म र परम्परागत उपचारदेखि कृषि मलसम्म यसको भूमिका उल्लेखनीय छ। यद्यपि यसको दूध विषाक्त हुने हुनाले सावधानीपूर्वक प्रयोग गर्नुपर्छ। यस्ता स्थानीय प्रजातिहरूको संरक्षण र प्रवर्धन गर्न सकेमा ग्रामीण अर्थतन्त्र र जैविक विविधता दुवैमा सकारात्मक प्रभाव पर्ने देखिन्छ।
