Originating from Southeast Asia, its heartwood is treasured for yielding a rich red dye used in textiles and traditional medicines. The pinnate leaves create a lush canopy, and in the warmer months, clusters of small yellow flowers bloom, attracting pollinators. As the tree matures, it develops distinctive seed pods. With a height of 5-15 meters, it provides shade and ornamental beauty. Sappanwood thrives in well-draining soil and sunlight. Its unique attributes, historical value, and ecological benefits make it a cherished addition to landscapes and a link to the past.
