About Karanj (Pongamia)
Dense glossy canopy; tolerant of poor soil and pollution. Shade trees are the backbone of a landscape. They cool buildings and parking, filter dust and last for generations. Our Karanj (Pongamia) trees are grown to 12–18 ft so you get a finished look on planting day, without waiting years for a sapling to mature.
Planting a mature Karanj (Pongamia)
Use a large pit (at least 3 × 3 ft for a 12 ft tree). Mix compost into the backfill, form a watering basin around the trunk and fix three guy-stakes until roots anchor.
Care after planting
Water deeply twice a week in the first summer. Mulch the basin to hold moisture. Formative pruning in the first two years builds a strong, well-balanced crown.
