Bhutya

Scientific Name:

Elaeodendron glaucum

Bhutya thrives in well-drained soil, with full sun to partial shade, and requires moderate watering. It provides habitat for birds and insects, with its dense foliage offering shelter for wildlife. The tree plays an important role in stabilizing soil in dry areas. Traditionally, Bhutya is used in herbal medicine for its antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties, and is commonly employed to treat wounds, fevers, and digestive issues, making it both ecologically beneficial and medicinally significant.
