Did you know? The kokum tree (Garcinia indica) stands out for its extraordinary adaptation to dry conditions in the Western Ghats of India. Unlike typical trees, it sheds its leaves during droughts, an uncommon strategy that minimises water loss through transpiration and aids in water conservation. This unique feature allows the kokum tree to endure arid environments by strategically conserving moisture, showcasing its remarkable ability to thrive in the face of adversity.
