It has oblong and conical leaves which are green on the top and brown below; it has pale yellow color flowers which appear between March and June.

Arjun tree is common throughout India mainly in the sub-Himalayan tracts and Eastern India. It has several medicinal properties like antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial. Its fruit is dried in the sunlight and then stored for up to 6 to 12 months. Seeds are pretreated by soaking in the water for about 48 hours before sowing in beds. About 8 to 9 months seedlings are better to transplant in the field. The tree leaves are big, sub opposite, oblong and conical.

The flowering season is from April- May and the Arjuna tree is mostly found on the river banks or near dry river beds in West Bengal, South, and Central India. The tree is propagated through seeds.

It takes about 7 to 8 years for the tree to mature and be used for medicinal purposes. Seeds are best sown in a polythene bag during June- July and then transferred to land for a better germination process. Though, the seedlings can be transplanted to land after a month. The botanical name of karanja is Millettia pinnata. It is highly tolerant of salinity and alkalinity and can cultivate on seashores.

Though, saline soils are thought to reduce tree nodulation and development. Karanja tree is a medium-sized evergreen or briefly deciduous tree, usually about 8 m high but that can grow to 15 to 25 meters.
