Kalpa Vriksha | Wish Tree - Avenue Tree

About Kalpa Vriksha

Kalpa Vriksha (also spelled Kalpavriksha, and known as Kalpataru or Kalpadruma) is one of the most revered names in Hindu mythology - the divine, wish-fulfilling tree said to grant any wish to those who sit beneath it, featured in the Puranas and associated with the churning of the ocean (Samudra Manthan). In Indian nurseries today, "Kalpa Vriksha" is used as a regional and devotional name for a large avenue tree associated with this legend, valued for its spiritual, ecological and landscape significance rather than any single strict botanical identity.

Growing Conditions

• Sunlight: Full sun.
• Soil: Well-drained garden soil.

Care

• Fertilizer: Organic fertilizer 2-3 times a year once established.
• Pruning: Minimal - remove only damaged or dead branches.
