KODOM
Scientific name: Neolamarckia cadamba
The Kadam tree grows up to 45 m high. It is a large tree
with a broad crown and straight cylindrical bole. Kadam flowers are red to orange, occurring in dense, globe-like
heads of approximately 55 cm. The fruit and inflorescences are reportedly
edible to humans. The fresh leaves are fed to cattle. The fragrant orange
flowers attract pollinators. Karam-Kadamba is a popular harvest festival,
celebrated on the eleventh Moon day of the month Bhaadra.
