Hello Brian, good article. I would also like to add my comment here. Yes, in India three trees are very popular, coconut, Neem and Mongana (local name for the tree) .Also known as the Horseradish tree originated in India and has spread in popularity to many parts of Asia, Central and South America, Africa and the Pacific. This tree has delicate foliage and attractive pale yellow flowers. Possibly one of the most useful trees in the world, it produces long green pods that have been compared to a cross between peanuts and asparagus. The peeled roots are used as a substitute for horseradish and the edible leaves make a highly nutritious vegetable. We are growing these trees for pod production. These are hugely consumed in India and Asian countries. Now why we have started planing these trees, our are has low rain fall, no irrigation dam near by, soil depth is low with no fertility and the land is undulating. After many research we started growing Mongana. N vry successful commercially as well using less water, soil depth has not increased but the texture has enriched. Thanks to dveloment team for sharing this article with me, it sld be shared with many others.
