Amla Plant

Amla Plant

Amla is a type of flowering tree in the family Phyllanthaceae. It is native to India and Nepal, and is commonly found in the Himalayan region. The tree is known for its fruit, which is called amla or Indian gooseberry. The fruit is a small, spherical or oval-shaped berry with a rough, greenish-yellow skin and a bitter, astringent taste. 

It is a valuable source of vitamins and nutrients, and is used in traditional medicine and Ayurveda. Amla trees can grow to a height of 30-40 feet, and have glossy, dark green leaves and small, white flowers. The fruit is typically harvested in the fall, and is used fresh or dried to make products such as amla powder, amla oil, and amla candy.
