Medicinal uses of Neem
Azadirachta indica, also known as neem, nim tree, and Indian lilac, is a tree in the mahogany family, Meliaceae.
It is one of two species in the genus Azadirachta.
Neem is a fast-growing tree that can reach a height of 15-20 meters (49-66 ft), rarely 35-40 meters (115-131 ft).
It is evergreen, but it may shed most or nearly all of its leaves in severe drought.
The branches are wide and spreading.
The fairly dense crown is roundish and may reach a diameter of 15-20 meters (49-66 ft) in old, free-standing specimens.
The neem tree is very similar in appearance to its relative, the chinaberry.
