Arabic Common Name: بونغاميا (Bonghamia)

Description for Middle East Weather: Pongamia glabra, also known as Millettia pinnata, is a resilient and fast-growing tree well-suited for the challenging climate of the Middle East. It thrives in high temperatures and can tolerate a wide range of soil types, including sandy and saline soils. This tree provides excellent shade due to its dense canopy and is known for its ability to withstand drought conditions once established. Its deep root system makes it an effective tool for soil stabilization and erosion control. The tree produces attractive clusters of pink to lavender flowers and, subsequently, flat brown pods.

Key Features:

  • Drought Tolerant: 💧 Highly adaptable to arid and semi-arid conditions, requiring minimal water after its initial establishment.

  • Shade Provider: 🌳 Forms a wide, spreading canopy, offering significant shade and helping to reduce ambient temperatures.

  • Soil Improver: 🌱 Fixes nitrogen in the soil, enriching it and benefiting surrounding plant life. It is also effective for reclaiming degraded land.

  • Pest and Disease Resistant: 🛡️ Generally resistant to most common pests and diseases, making it a low-maintenance choice for landscaping.

  • Biodiesel Source: ⛽ The seeds are rich in oil, which can be used as a source for biodiesel, making it a tree with significant economic potential.

🌞 Light:
Prefers full sun for optimal growth. Plant in an area with at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight daily.

💧 Watering:
Water moderately during the establishment phase (first 1-2 years). Once mature, it is highly drought-tolerant and requires minimal watering, relying on natural rainfall. Avoid waterlogging.

🌱 Soil:
Thrives in well-drained soils, including sandy, loamy, or clay types. Tolerates a wide pH range (6.0-8.0) and moderately saline conditions.

🌡️ Temperature:
Best suited for USDA Hardiness Zones 10-12. It prefers warm climates and can tolerate temperatures between 15°C to 40°C (59°F to 104°F). Protect young plants from frost.

✂️ Pruning:
Prune lightly to shape the tree or remove dead branches. Best done in late winter or early spring before new growth begins.

🧬 Fertilization:
Minimal fertilization is needed due to its nitrogen-fixing ability. Apply a balanced fertilizer (e.g., 10-10-10) sparingly during the growing season if growth appears slow.

🐛 Pests and Diseases:
Generally pest-resistant but monitor for occasional leaf-eating insects or fungal issues in humid conditions. Use organic pest control if needed.

🌿 Propagation:
Easily propagated from seeds or cuttings. Soak seeds in water for 24 hours before planting to improve germination.

⚠️ Note: The seeds and oil of Pongamia glabra are toxic if ingested. Keep away from children and pets.

With proper care, Pongamia glabra will reward you with its beauty, shade, and environmental benefits for years to come!
