Ceylon Ironwood Tree

The Ceylon Ironwood, also known as Nagkesar or Indian Rose Chestnut, is a magnificent tropical tree admired for its dense, dark green foliage, richly fragrant white flowers, and beautifully patterned bark. Native to South and Southeast Asia, this slow-growing evergreen is prized both as an ornamental specimen and for its incredibly hard, heavy wood. The tree is culturally significant in many regions, often planted near temples and in ceremonial gardens.
