Kewda

Scientific Name:

Pandanus odorifer

Kewda thrives in sandy, well-drained soil with full sun to partial shade and requires minimal watering. Its deep roots help stabilize coastal soils and prevent erosion while offering shelter to small animals and insects. The leaves and flowers are traditionally used in medicine to treat headaches, rheumatism, and skin infections, valued for their antimicrobial properties. Known for its distinct spiral leaf arrangement and fragrant blossoms, Kewda is often cultivated for its ornamental and aromatic appeal.
