Ankol

Scientific Name:

Alangium salviifolium

Ankol (Sage-leaved Alangium) thrives in well-drained soil, preferring full sun to partial shade, and requires moderate watering. Known for its medicinal properties, it is used in Ayurveda to treat ailments like fever, rheumatism, and snake bites, thanks to its anti-inflammatory and analgesic qualities. The tree also plays a vital role in forest ecosystems by providing habitat for various birds and insects, supporting local biodiversity.
