Albizia procera – Siris Tree, White Siris, Tall Albizia (Albizia procera)
General Description
Albizia procera, commonly known as Siris Tree, White Siris, or Tall Albizia, is a fast-growing deciduous tree native to South and Southeast Asia. Highly valued for its strong timber, soil-enriching properties, and drought resistance, it has been widely cultivated for reforestation, agroforestry, and ornamental landscaping. Traditionally, it has been used in Ayurvedic medicine, while its nitrogen-fixing ability makes it an essential species for improving soil fertility.
Plant Characteristics
This medium to large deciduous tree reaches 15 to 25 meters in height, with a broad, spreading canopy of feathery, bipinnate leaves that provide light, dappled shade. The bark is smooth and pale gray, developing fissures with age. During flowering, it produces clusters of creamy-white, fragrant flowers, followed by flat, elongated seed pods containing small, hard seeds. The deep-rooted system enhances its resilience to drought and poor soils.
Taste and Benefits
Not typically consumed as food, but the bark, leaves, and flowers are used in traditional medicine for their anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties. The tree also plays a vital role in reforestation, erosion control, and nitrogen fixation, benefiting degraded soils.
Cultivation Recommendations
Seeds require scarification or soaking in warm water before planting to improve germination. Prefers well-drained soil and full sun, tolerating poor and rocky substrates. Thrives in tropical and subtropical climates, with moderate water needs. Once established, it is highly drought-resistant and requires minimal maintenance.
Uses and Benefits
• Timber production: Strong and durable wood for furniture and construction
• Soil improvement: Nitrogen-fixing roots enhance soil fertility
• Shade and landscaping: Ideal for parks, gardens, and agroforestry
• Erosion control: Deep-rooted system stabilizes degraded land
Packaging
The seeds are carefully selected for high germination rates and packed to ensure freshness.
Shipping Information
Orders are processed within 1–2 days and shipped worldwide, with delivery typically taking 1–2 weeks.
