PONGAMIA GLABRA

₹32.00

Pongamia glabra, also known as the Indian Beech Tree or Karanj, is a fast-growing, medium-sized, evergreen tree native to India. It is well-regarded for its oil-rich seeds used in biofuel production, as well as its ability to thrive in poor soils, making it ideal for reforestation and erosion control. The tree has a wide-spreading canopy with glossy green leaves and produces clusters of fragrant, purplish-white flowers that attract pollinators. It is commonly planted along roadsides, riverbanks, and as a shade tree in agroforestry systems.
