It is non-native to Gujarat and the Indian subcontinent. Introduced to India during the mid-19th century as a shade tree for high-altitude coffee and tea plantations in the Western Ghats, it was subsequently introduced to Gujarat via social forestry and urban horticulture. It is cultivated across urban avenues, botanical gardens (e.g., Gandhinagar, Anand, and Vadodara), university campuses, and private agroforestry farm borders in Central and South Gujarat.
