The Indian rosewood is also known as Shisham. The scientific name of Indian rosewood is Dalbergia sissoo. It is a fast-growing hardy and deciduous tree. It belongs to the Fabaceae family (it is the family of peas and legumes). It is native to the foothills of the Himalayas of India, Myanmar, Nepal, and Pakistan and possibly also in the neighboring countries. The color of Indian rosewood is pale brown. It has an acid and astringent taste.
The Indian rosewood is mostly found growing along riverbanks below 900 m elevations, but it can range naturally up to 1500 m. The Indian rosewood has the ability to fix nitrogen from the atmosphere through bacteria located in nodules present in the root system. The leaf litter which gathers and decomposes also commits to soil fertility by adding additional manganese, iron, potassium, nitrogen, and organic carbon.
The propagation of Indian rosewood is done by seeds and also by root suckers. Many parts of this plant are used as medicines. The Indian rosewood can help to balance both dry and oily skin. It has been proven to be useful against acne. The oil of Indian rosewood is used in perfumes.
