  • English names: Arjuna, arjun tree

The arjun tree is a medium-sized tree that grows up to 25 meters tall. When grown in a pot, however, it remains somewhat smaller. The leaves are green and oval, and the trunk is thick, smooth, and grey. It produces white, pale flowers that later develop into very distinctive fruits with their 5 "wings." They can somewhat resemble star fruits in shape.

The tree originates from the Indian subcontinent, where it grows along riverbanks. The arjun tree is cultivated commercially for its leaves, which are used in silk production as silkworms (Antheraea paphia) feed on them. The tree's bark is also used in traditional medicine.

Seed germination

Soak in water for 48 hours. Then sow the seeds in moist seed compost or cactus soil. Alternatively, place the seeds between sheets of moist paper towel, which is then placed in a sealed bag. Place in a bright and warm spot.

Alternatively, you can pour boiling water over the seeds. Let it cool and leave them in the water for 24 hours. Then sow the seeds as described.

Childcare

The tree requires a pot so that it can be brought indoors during the winter. Unfortunately, it does not tolerate frost.

- Place in a bright location, preferably full sun
- Good nutrient-rich, well-draining soil that can still retain water.
- Fertilize during the growing season
- Less water in winter
