Scientific Name:

Gliricidia sepium

Giri Pushpa thrives in well-drained soil, full sun to partial shade, and moderate watering. It supports local wildlife by providing shelter for small animals and attracting pollinators. Traditionally used in medicine, it helps treat wounds, digestive disorders, and respiratory conditions due to its antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties. The wood is commonly used for fuel, and the tree is also beneficial in agroforestry for soil improvement and nitrogen fixation, making it an essential part of sustainable agricultural practices.
