🌳 Tree of the Week — Baner Hill

One of the trees growing on Baner Hill, identified by the Earth Pulse plant monitoring network.

🌳 Identified on Baner Hill
Neem
Azadirachta indica
Meliaceae
Neem is one of India's most ecologically significant trees, revered across the Deccan for millennia. Its dense canopy provides critical shade in Pune's summer heat while its flowers feed insects that in turn feed Baner Hill's birds.
💡
Every part of the Neem tree — bark, leaves, seeds, oil — has documented medicinal or pesticidal properties, earning it the Sanskrit name "Sarva Roga Nivarini" meaning the curer of all ailments.
