🌱 Story of Amla
I am a medium-sized deciduous tree known as Amla or Indian Gooseberry. My fruits are small, round, and light green with a very sour taste. I grow widely across India and thrive in tropical and subtropical climates. My branches are covered with small feathery leaves that give me a graceful appearance. I am valued for my nutritious fruits and I play an important role in traditional Indian agriculture, home gardens, and forests.
