Erythrina indica

Erythrina indica (Tigers Claw, Indian Coral Tree, Dedap, Derdap, Mountain Ebony,) is a ornamental tree species sourced from Indian natural stands, suited for landscaping, avenue planting, and ornamental garden design.

Growing & Establishment

Ornamental tree seeds are best sown in well-prepared nursery beds or polybag containers with good drainage. Pre-soaking for 12–24 hours and scarification of hard-coated seeds improves germination rates significantly. Provide partial shade during early seedling stages. Transplanting is best done at the onset of or during the monsoon season for optimal field establishment across India.

Use in India

Ornamental trees are in growing demand across India for urban beautification, highway median planting, institutional campus landscaping, and residential colony greening. Native ornamental species are increasingly preferred for their ecological value — providing habitat for birds, bees, and butterflies — alongside their visual appeal.

Seeds are sourced from established specimen trees across India and tested for germination viability before dispatch. SeedsCart is an ISF-certified supplier with experience serving nurseries, landscape contractors, and municipal greening departments. We ship internationally.
