Ecological Benefits

• • A fast-growing species that rapidly builds biomass and strengthens degraded ecosystems.
• • Acts as a strong soil binder through its dense root network, reducing erosion on slopes and loose terrain.
• • Provides excellent habitat for birds, small mammals and insects within its thick clumps.
• • Supports moisture retention and creates cooler microclimates in dry landscapes.
• • Offers multipurpose uses for communities, including craft material, construction support and fodder.
• • Adds organic matter to the soil and improves long-term fertility through continuous leaf shedding.
