Neem or Veppa is native to India and Burma. It is the state tree of Andhra Pradesh. Neem is a fast-growing tree that can reach a height of 15-20 m. It is evergreen but under severe drought, it may shed most or nearly all of its leaves. The branches are widespread. The fairly dense crown is roundish or oval and may reach the diameter of 15-20 m in old, free-standing specimens. The trunk is relatively short, straight and may reach a diameter of 1.2 m. The shape of mature leaflets is more or less asymmetric and their margins are serrated. The flowers (white and fragrant) are arranged axillary, normally more-or-less drooping panicles which are up to 25 cm long. The inflorescences, which branch up to the third degree, bear 150-250 flowers. But Neem is far more than a tough tree that grows vigorously in difficult sites.
