Senna Siamea Also known as: Kassod Tree, Cassod Tree and (incorrectly) as Cassia tree, Thailand Shower Tree. A medium-size, evergreen tree growing up to 18 m and often planted as an ornamental for its abundant yellow flowers. It is often used as a shade tree in cocoa, coffee and tea plantations. It is also planted as a dense windbreak and shelter belt. When used as a hedgerow, it effectively increases topsoil infiltration, reducing runoff and combating soil erosion. Used extensively for rehabilitation of degraded land. In Thailand, young fruits, leaves, tender pods and seeds are eaten as a vegetable. During preparation the cooking liquid is replaced 3 times to remove toxins. In Sri Lanka, the flowers and young fruits are used in curries. Widely grown for fodder, but the trees can be browsed. The alkaloids and other secondary plant compounds in the leaves, flowers and pods are highly toxic to non-ruminants, such as pigs and poultry, and these animals should be kept away from plantations. Sawdust may cause some irritation to the nose, throat and eyes. The dense, dark colored wood makes good fuel, although it produces some smoke when burning. The wood was formerly preferred for locomotive engines. Its charcoal is also of excellent quality. The wood is reported to be rare, and not commonly available. It is used in musical instruments (ukeleles and guitars), turned objects, carvings, and other small specialty wood items. This tree has medicinal value and it contains a compound named Barakol. It has sedative and anxiolytic effects, but use for these purposes is now discouraged due to hepatotoxicity. In traditional medicine, the fruit is used to charm away intestinal worms and to prevent convulsions in children. The heartwood is said to be a laxative, and in Cambodia a decoction is used against scabies. It requires full sun with good soil drainage. It is susceptible to cold and frost no matter what zone your in, so it will need to be potted or protected under those conditions.

Senna hebecarpa 30 Seeds – American Senna
Senna hebecarpa, commonly called American senna or wild senna, is a perennial herbaceous plant in the legume family, Fabaceae. Senna hebecarpa is native to much of eastern North America and can be found in moist, open woodlands. Leaves are pinnately compound with 10 to 20 leaflets on each leaf. The whole plant can grow up to 3 to 6 feet tall and 2 to 3 feet wide. Yellow flowers grow from apical buds that bloom in July and August. Senna hebecarpa is grown as a medicinal crop as the leaves, roots, and seeds are used to alleviate cramps, heart trouble, and fevers. The leaves are commonly used as a laxative when chopped and boiled with water. Full sun to partial shade are ideal light conditions. The plant thrives in moist well draining neutral pH soil with a fair amount of organic matter. Water adequately whenever soil appears dry. USDA plant hardiness zone 4a to 8b. Senna hebecarpa seeds require a cold stratification pretreatment. This may be achieved by leaving seeds in a small amount of moist, but not soaking wet, sterilized peat moss or sand inside a refrigerator for 1 month. Sown seeds require consistent moisture but soil should not be soaking wet. Soil should be moist and well draining with a neutral pH. Seeds should be surface sown and lightly covered with a thin layer of the potting mixture and kept between 70°F to 85°F. Germination typically takes 1 to 2 weeks to occur. Even with optimal conditions, germination may be slow and sporadic.
