The Chanar is cold and drought deciduous (meaning that it loses it leaves in winter, and possibly in summer if it gets too dry). The bark peals in attractive irregular patterns.
Blooming Habits:
The Chanar has small papery yellow flowers in spring, followed by fruit turning brown or yellow as they mature. The fruit contains only one seed in contrast from the pods generally produced by the other members of its family.
Culture:
The tree emits a quantity of root sprouts that should be mowed. Limiting irrigation will also alleviate the problem.
