I am a large deciduous medicinal tree known for my oval fruits that are used in traditional Ayurvedic treatments.

I originate from the Indian subcontinent and grow naturally across India, Nepal, and Southeast Asia.

I need regular watering when young, but once mature, I can survive with minimal water and seasonal rainfall.

I grow best in full sunlight and prefer open areas with good air circulation.

I thrive in warm climates between 20°C to 40°C and tolerate heat very well.

I grow best when planted directly in open soil with deep space for my roots to spread freely.

I respond well to organic compost, farmyard manure, and natural soil nutrients.

My botanical name is Terminalia bellirica and I belong to the Combretaceae family.

I am generally safe for pets, but eating large quantities of my fruit may cause mild digestive discomfort.

I help improve air quality by releasing oxygen and supporting ecological balance.

My fruits support digestion, immunity, hair health, and are a key ingredient in Ayurvedic formulations.

I may face pest attacks in very humid conditions, but I am mostly disease resistant.

I am a long-living tree and can survive for many decades under proper conditions.
