Description

Super Rare Tree

Sapindus mukorossi, commonly known as the Soapnut or Reetha tree, is a medium to large deciduous tree native to Asia, but it can adapt well to Australian conditions in subtropical and tropical regions. Growing up to 20 meters tall, it thrives in warm climates with moderate rainfall and well-drained soil.

 

The tree is highly valued for its fruit, which contains natural saponins, a biodegradable soap substitute popular for eco-friendly cleaning and shampooing. The fruits are harvested after the tree matures (around 9–10 years) and can be dried and used directly.

 

Sapindus mukorossi is drought-tolerant once established, making it suitable for sustainable landscapes. It also contributes to reforestation projects and soil conservation. In Australia, it may require protection from frost in cooler regions. Perfect for those looking for a multi-purpose, low-maintenance tree.
