I am a medium-sized deciduous tree known for my medicinal fruits that support digestion and body balance.

I originate from India and Southeast Asia and have been used in traditional medicine for centuries.

I need moderate watering during early growth, but once mature I tolerate dry conditions well.

I grow best in full sunlight and open natural environments.

I prefer warm climates between 20°C to 40°C and grow well in tropical regions.

I grow best in well-drained soil and open land with enough space for root expansion.

I grow well with organic compost or farmyard manure applied once or twice a year.

My botanical name is Terminalia chebula and I belong to the Combretaceae family.

I am generally safe, but fruits should not be consumed by pets in large amounts.

I help improve air quality and support soil health.

My fruits are used for digestion, immunity, detoxification, and Ayurvedic formulations like Triphala.

I may face fungal issues if soil drainage is poor or overwatered.

I can live for 50 to 80 years under good growing conditions.
