'drumstick tree', is well known for its multi-purpose attributes, wide
adaptability, and is very easy to grow. It is mostly grown as a
backyard tree in most Indian homes. Its leaves, pods
and flowers are packed with nutrients important to both humans and animals.
It is valued mainly for its tender pod, which is antibacterial and a wonderful
cleanser. Drumstick is rich in calcium, phosphorus and vitamin C. The leaves
are especially beneficial in the treatment of many ailments due to their
various medicinal properties and their rich iron content. Drumstick is also a
