Vol 4 The adaptogenic Vitamin C – Amla

Amla (aka. Indian Gooseberry, Emblic; Emblica officinalis, syn. Phyllanthes emblica) is a small to medium sized tree from East Asia, growing to about 26 feet in height and producing simple close-set leaves along their branches. The plant is useful in Agroforestry for cutting the branches as a green manure, as well as in reforestation projects, as they are a fast-growing pioneer species that can attract wildlife.
