Red Sandalwood is scientifically known as Pterocarpus santalinus. It is a valuable and aromatic hardwood tree known for its rich red heartwood. Native to India, particularly the Southern regions. It thrives in tropical climates.

Red Sandalwood is primarily an outdoor plant, requiring ample sunlight and well-drained soil to flourish. This plant is renowned for its high-quality timber, which is used in fine woodworking, traditional medicine, and natural dye production.
