Amla (Phyllanthus emblica), the revered Indian Gooseberry, is a small to medium deciduous tree bearing translucent, pale-green sour fruits packed with vitamin C. With its feathery, fine foliage it offers light shade and a graceful form, while its tart fruits are a cornerstone of Ayurveda and Indian kitchens alike. Amla is used in chyawanprash, hair oils, pickles, juices and tonics for immunity, digestion, hair and skin. Hardy and long-lived, it tolerates heat, poor soils and drought, fruiting reliably across most of India. It is an excellent, low-maintenance fruit tree for home gardens and orchards.
