Pongamia pinnata is a fast-growing, medium-sized, evergreen or briefly deciduous, glabrous shrub or tree with a broad crown of spreading or drooping branches.
Native to humid tropical and subtropical environments, it is found at elevations from sea level to 1,200 metres.
It grows in areas where the mean annual temperature ranges from a minimum of 1 – 16°c, up to a maximum of 27 – 38 (exceptionally 50)°c, and the mean annual rainfall is 500 – 2,500 mm, with a dry season of 2 – 6 months
It does not do well on dry sands, although it tolerates saline conditions, alkalinity and waterlogged soils.
Tolerant of shade, it can grow under the shade of other trees, but will also grow well in full sun.
Established plants are drought resistant.
Plants are wind-resistant, tolerating at least some salt-laden air.
