PLANT DETAILS

Shami Plant (Prosopis cineraria), also known as Khejri or Jand, is a sacred drought-resistant evergreen tree native to arid India (Rajasthan, Gujarat, Haryana state tree), featuring whitish peeling bark, feathery bipinnate leaves, and small yellow fragrant flowers forming protein-rich pods revered in Hindu mythology for Dussehra rituals where Arjuna hid weapons in its branches. This multipurpose legume fixes nitrogen, provides livestock fodder from leaves/pods during famines, yields durable wood for furniture/fuel, and offers Ayurvedic remedies from bark treating diabetes, skin disorders, diarrhea, and scorpion stings. The 1.5–3 feet plant thrives in harsh deserts, growing 5-10m tall for agroforestry, windbreaks, or temple courtyards.
