Pods are slender, falcate or straight, and 30–45 cm (12–18 in) long, with a thick suture and approximately 30 seeds 8 mm (0.3 in) in size.
It is native to Maritime Southeast Asia (Malaysia, Indonesia, Philippines, Brunei) to Northern Australia, and is cultivated in many parts of South India and Sri Lanka. It has many traditional uses. It grows where there is good soil and a hot, humid climate.

In conclusion, apart from being a nitrogen fixer tree, Sesbania Grandiflora supports multiple functions ranging from green manuring, birds and bees habitat to providing food and medicine making it a low maintenance and high yielding species to include in both permaculture design as well as conventional farming. In Fact it is a great one for helping farmers transition from monoculture to regenerative farming by introducing sesbania as a supportive species to main crop for obtaining an additional yield and reducing the dependency on commercial fertilisers.
Its vigorously growing nature also helps farmers experience the transformation and benefits in a smaller period of time, which makes it a suitable pioneer species for distressed land or projects which demand visible results in a shorter period of time.
