Dalbergia Sissoo

Design with this plant

Overview

The Indian Rosewood, Dalbergia sissoo, is a deciduous tree prized for its richly hued timber and shade-providing canopy. Mature trees reach up to 60 feet tall with a 2-3 foot diameter trunk. It flourishes in well-drained, loamy soils and full sun, with moderate water needs. Its resilience makes it ideal for urban settings, and it is also used for erosion control. The tree blooms with inconspicuous white flowers in spring.
