Neem Tree

Azadirachta indica
Neem is a medium-sized tree, reaching 15 to 30 m in height, with a large rounded crown up to 10-20 m in diameter. It is mainly evergreen but sometimes shed its leaves during the dry season. Neem is a multipurpose tree. People consume its fruits raw or cooked, and sometimes eat the young twigs and flowers as vegetables. The seeds are an important source of azadirachtin, a limonoid compound (triterpenoid) present in the seeds, and also to some extent in leaves and other tissues. It acts as an insect repellent, inhibiting them from feeding, thus disrupting their growth, metamorphosis and reproduction
