Cassia leaves are erroneously referred to as 'Indian bay leaves', even though they belong to a totally different botanical family and look nothing like a bay leaf. Cassia leaves can be twice the size (both in width and length) of the European bay leaf and when dried turn a dull brown colour and are inclined to break whereas bay leaves, tough and leathery as they are, are more likely to survive the drying process intact.

What is the best fertilizer for cassia trees?

Compost or a slow release organic fertilizer is what is best for cassia trees (Senna surattensis).Specifically, cassia trees do not need special fertilizer attention when they grow in grass, ground cover, lawn or turf that already is scheduled for regular fertilizer treatments. A caution with overlapping fertilizer plans is that they tend to put more nitrogen than is necessary into the soil. This may be a concern for cassia trees, in which the consequence is lush foliage at the expense of flowering.But cassia trees respond well to compost or slow release organic fertilizers. These options supply the tree with many of the same nutrients as in the above-mentioned plans. But they take their time and therefore do not overwhelm the tree's sensitive flowering system with too many nutrients at one time.
