Kadamb

Scientific Name:

Neolamarckia cadamba

Kadamb, a tree that thrives in well-drained loamy or clay soil with adequate moisture, provides habitat for birds, bees, and other pollinators. Its fruits are consumed by various animals, aiding in seed dispersal and contributing to the ecosystem. The dense canopy of Kadamb not only adds to the beauty of the landscape but also helps in retaining soil moisture and creating a favorable microclimate. Traditionally, Kadamb has been used in Ayurveda to treat skin diseases, fever, and diarrhea. The bark, leaves, and fruit extracts of the tree are known for their antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties.
