Neem is one of India's most revered and useful trees, valued for centuries in Ayurveda as 'the village pharmacy'. Native to the Indian subcontinent, this fast-growing evergreen develops a broad, shady canopy of feathery, serrated leaflets, fragrant white flowers and small olive-like fruits. Extraordinarily hardy, it thrives in poor soils, heat and drought, making it ideal for avenues, gardens and farms. Every part of the tree is useful: leaves, bark, oil and seeds are used in medicines, skincare, and as a natural pesticide. It also purifies the air and provides excellent shade in hot climates.
