General : It is not indigenous but frequently planted on roadsides. Recommended for plantations on sandy and gravelly alluvium soils on beds of river, It avoids stiff clay, preferring porous soil of sand, pebbles and boulders. It is identified by somewhat crooked bole acuminate leaves. Pretreatment: Not required. However, for hastenting germination, soak the seeds in cold water for 24 hours. Nursery Technique : Broken pieces of pods, each containing one seed are sown in properly worked up soil and lightly covered with earth. Too much watering is avoided. Then they are transplanted to polybags.
