Neem Tree

The Neem Tree is a fast-growing, evergreen tree known for its wide range of medicinal and agricultural uses. Native to India and Southeast Asia, Neem is highly valued for its leaves, bark, seeds, and oil, all of which possess antibacterial, antifungal, and insecticidal properties. Neem oil, extracted from the seeds, is widely used in organic gardening as a natural pesticide and insect repellent. The tree’s leaves and bark are also commonly used in traditional medicine for treating various ailments.

The Neem tree is drought-tolerant and thrives in hot climates. It has pinnate leaves, similar to ferns, and produces fragrant, small, white flowers that eventually develop into olive-like fruits. The tree is highly resilient and can tolerate poor soils, making it suitable for reforestation and erosion control.
