Azadirachta indica,
commonly called neem tree or margosa tree, is native to tropical, dry,
deciduous/evergreen forests of Burma, India and Ceylon (now Sri Lanka), but has
for many years been cultivated throughout India, Malaysia and Pakistan. It is a
medium sized tree that grows to 50-75' (less frequently to 100') tall with a
dense, round to oval crown. It is evergreen but may temporarily lose its leaves
in protracted drought conditions. Compound pinnate leaves (6-12") have
8-18 serrated medium to dark green leaflets (each to 3" long). White
fragrant flowers in drooping panicles to 10" long bloom in spring. Trees
are polygamous (both bisexual flowers and male flowers exist on the same
plant). Edible fruit is a smooth olive-like drupe. Each fruit contains one
(rarely 2-3) elongated seeds. Neem trees are sacred in their native land.
Almost every part of the tree has some uses. Durable wood (mahagony family) is
used for furniture and lumber. Leaves and bark are used in teas, cosmetics,
toothpaste, pet care and medicinal preparations. Dried leaves are used to deter
moth. Twigs are used as tooth brushes. Neem oil is a broad spectrum
botanical insecticide, repellent and fungicide. It is also used for a variety
of additional purposes including machinery lubricant, lamp fuel and for soaps
and cosmetics. Neem cake is used as a fertilizer and a nematicide.
Neem tree has been widely planted as a shade tree in hot, drought prone areas and has over time been introduced to tropical areas around the world. Interesting container plant for indoors.
