Lodhra

Scientific Name:

Symplocos racemosa

Lodhra, scientifically known as Symplocos racemosa, thrives in well-drained, fertile soil with partial to full sunlight and moderate watering. It is highly valued for its extensive medicinal properties, especially in traditional Ayurveda. Lodhra plays an important ecological role by supporting biodiversity, offering food and shelter for wildlife such as birds and insects in tropical and subtropical regions. Its dense canopy also aids in soil conservation and stabilizing the surrounding environment.
