Scientific Name:

Albizia lebbeck

Shirish thrives in well-drained soil and full sun, providing ample shade and supporting pollinators like bees while offering a habitat for birds and insects. Its nitrogen-fixing ability improves soil fertility, making it valuable for ecological balance. Traditionally, its bark, leaves, and seeds are used to treat respiratory issues, inflammation, and skin conditions, thanks to their antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties. This multipurpose tree plays a vital role in both natural ecosystems and traditional medicine.
