Goals: Herbs & healing

Kagzi lime — the single most useful pot tree for an Indian household.

Purple fruit in June and dense evergreen shade for the rest of the year.

Feathery-leaved and drought-hardy; one grafted tree feeds a household in winter.

A spiny yellow-flowered shrub of dry scrub, unbothered by heat or thin soil.

Fruit inside a year from seed — the fastest fruit a household can grow.

A thorny slow tree of dry country with a hard-shelled sour fruit.

The kewda of Odisha — spiny leaves and a male flower distilled for scent.

Purple trumpet flushes twice a year, and leaves that smell of garlic when crushed.

Flowers every day of the year and asks for nothing. Indigenous to the deccan.

Orange flower clusters straight off the trunk — a sacred tree, now threatened.
