The Shami plant, also known as Prosopis cineraria, is a medium-sized, deciduous tree that can grow up to 10–12 meters tall. It has a dense, spreading canopy with small, pinnate leaves, and its bark is grayish-brown and rough. The Shami plant produces small, yellow-green flowers in the spring that are fragrant and appear in dense, elongated spikes. The flowers are followed by small, sweet-tasting fruits that are a source of food for livestock and wildlife. The fruit is a brown, curved pod that contains seeds.
