This is one of the plants which are mostly planted in our school gardens. Senna siamea, also known as Siamese cassia, kassod tree, cassod tree and cassia tree, is a legume in the subfamily Caesalpinioideae. It is native to South and Southeast Asia, although its exact origin is unknown. It is a medium-size, evergreen tree growing up to 18 m (60 ft) with yellow flowers.
Senna siamea grows well in many environments, but it grows particularly well in lowland tropics.
Here are some of its uses:
1. Senna siamea wood is used for furniture, poles, small timber, and fuelwood.
