Neem is the common name of a very important tree native to the tropical and subtropical zones of India.

The flowers are very fragrant and white in color, while the fruit of the neem tree is a small drupe with a bittersweet pulp. Neem oil can be extracted from most parts of the tree, but the effective compound Azadirachin is found in highest amounts in the seeds. Neem trees grow very rapidly and have broad spreading leaves, which drop quickly in a drought so as to protect the rest of the trees. This quality makes neem trees extremely resilient to challenging environments.
