Ailanthus excelsa (Mahaneem, Tree of Heaven) Seeds
Ailanthus excelsa, commonly known as Mahaneem or Tree of Heaven, is a fast-growing deciduous tree from the Simaroubaceae family. Native to South Asia, it is widely appreciated for its medicinal properties, economic value, and ability to thrive in arid and semi-arid regions. With its tall stature and expansive canopy, Mahaneem is an excellent choice for shade, reforestation, and agroforestry.
Characteristics:
• Plant Description: Ailanthus excelsa grows up to 18–25 meters tall, with a straight trunk and an umbrella-like canopy. The tree features large, compound leaves with up to 25–50 leaflets and small, yellow-green flowers in panicles, followed by clusters of winged seeds (samaras).
• Growth Habit: A fast-growing and hardy species that thrives in challenging environments.
• Climate Adaptability: Tolerates tropical and subtropical climates, thriving in dry, nutrient-poor soils and regions with high temperatures.
Uses and Benefits:
• Timber: The lightweight wood is used for construction, furniture, matchstick production, and plywood.
• Medicinal Properties: In traditional medicine, the bark, leaves, and roots are used for their anti-inflammatory, anti-microbial, and febrifuge properties. It is often used to treat fevers, skin diseases, and respiratory ailments.
• Shade Tree: Its broad canopy makes it ideal for providing shade in parks, gardens, and roadside plantations.
• Ecological Role: The tree is often used in reforestation and afforestation projects due to its ability to stabilize soil and grow in degraded lands.
• Fodder: The leaves serve as fodder for livestock in arid regions where other food sources may be scarce.
Cultivation:
• Sowing: Soak seeds in warm water for 24 hours before planting to improve germination rates. Sow seeds directly into prepared soil or nursery beds and lightly cover them with soil. Germination typically occurs within 2–3 weeks.
• Growth Conditions: Prefers full sun and thrives in well-drained soils, including sandy, loamy, or rocky soils. It is highly drought-tolerant once established but benefits from regular watering during the seedling stage.
• Maintenance: A low-maintenance tree requiring minimal pruning. Protect young plants from grazing during the initial stages of growth.
Unique Features:
• Rapid Growth: Ideal for afforestation, shade, and quick greening projects.
• Resilience: Tolerates extreme temperatures, poor soils, and drought, making it a suitable choice for challenging environments.
• Multipurpose Tree: Offers timber, fodder, and medicinal benefits, along with ecological contributions.
