Cassia siamea
Kassod tree
Description
Cassia siamea, or Siamese senna, is a fast-growing, medium-sized tree native to Southeast Asia. It is widely cultivated in tropical regions for its timber, shade, and ornamental value. The tree features compound leaves with numerous leaflets and produces clusters of yellow flowers. It also produces long, flat, and brown seed pods. It's an excellent choice for reforestation and erosion control in certain areas because of its rapid growth. The wood is dense and durable, and the flowers attract pollinators. The tree is quite adaptable, tolerating various soil types, but prefers well-drained conditions. Provide ample space as it can grow rapidly.
