NEEM TREE PLANT

NEEM TREE PLANT

The Neem Tree has been cultivated for centuries for its many beneficial uses, including using the leaves to naturally repel pests. The leaves are often stored in cabinets, windows and grain storages to keep bugs away.
Instead of using harmful chemical sprays to keep destructive bugs like aphids from entering your garden, or annoying bugs like mosquitos away, you can add a Neem Tree to your landscape for an organic solution to pest problems. Best of all, Neem trees don’t bother good bugs like pollinators and won’t keep them away from your yard.
The leaves and flowers of Neem trees are often used in teas because they are filled with nutrients like vitamin E, vitamin A, Potassium, Calcium, magnesium and antioxidants to naturally boost the immune system.
All parts of the tree, and mainly the fruit, produce oil that is used in soaps and lotions, and the leaves are often placed in baths because their nutrients and antioxidants will soothe dry skin and provide relief for conditions like eczema.
Neem trees are evergreens that are a delight to grow. They have full thick canopies that add dense color to the landscape and provide shade. In the spring, Neem Trees erupt with large clusters of fragrant white blooms that will add beauty and a floral fragrance to your yard before turning into ornamental, vibrant yellow fruit.
If you live outside of growing zones 9 through 11, place your Neem tree in a container and bring it indoors for the colder months. They love growing indoors and will fill any space with tropical color.
By being native to dry and arid climates, Neem trees are extremely drought tolerant and heat resistant. They will thrive during the hottest and most dry parts of the year. Plant your low maintenance tree and relax as it instantly starts to naturally repel pests.
