• Timber Production: The dense wood is used for furniture, construction, and as a reliable source of fuelwood.
• Fodder: Leaves and pods serve as fodder for livestock, particularly in arid regions.
• Ecological Benefits: Cassia siamea acts as a soil stabilizer, reducing erosion, and improves soil fertility by fixing nitrogen. It is also used in agroforestry systems as a shade tree or windbreak.
• Medicinal Properties: Traditionally used in herbal medicine for its laxative and antibacterial properties. Leaves and flowers are used in various remedies.
• Pollinator Support: Its flowers attract bees, butterflies, and other beneficial insects, supporting local biodiversity.
