Kajelia-Pinnata

Kajelia pinnata, also known as Pongamia Tree or Karanj Tree, is a hardy, fast-growing, and versatile evergreen tree native to the Indian subcontinent and Southeast Asia. Widely recognized for its environmental, ornamental, and agricultural value, this tree is perfect for reforestation, avenue planting, and agroforestry projects.

It grows up to 40–60 feet and features a dense, spreading crown with glossy green compound leaves and clusters of fragrant, purplish-white flowers during spring and early summer. Kajelia pinnata is drought-tolerant, salt-tolerant, and thrives in marginal soils, making it ideal for coastal areas, barren lands, and roadsides.
