Raintree

Scientific Name:

Samanea saman

Raintree prefers well-drained, fertile soil, full sun, and moderate watering. It provides habitat for birds and insects, including pollinators like bees and butterflies. The bark and leaves are used in folk medicine to treat conditions such as wounds, fevers, and digestive issues. The tree is grown for its large, umbrella-shaped canopy and attractive flowers, often planted as a shade tree in parks, streets, and gardens.
