Paraserianthes Falcataria

Paraserianthes falcataria, also known as the mangium tree, is a fast-growing leguminous species native to Southeast Asia. It is widely cultivated for its timber, which is prized for its durability and workability. The tree plays a vital role in reforestation efforts due to its ability to fix nitrogen in the soil. Its leaves and pods are also used in traditional medicine and as forage for livestock. Despite its ecological and economic benefits, it faces threats from deforestation and overharvesting.
