Widely cultivated in tropical countries as ornamental, but getting more importance as rapidly growing multipurpose tree in various agroforestry systems, mainly in the tropical lowlands of Asia, Australia and the Pacific isl., but also in other continents (Antilles, Florida, Africa). From India to Vietnam, SW China, Philippines and Indonesia it had been grown since long times for different purposes, as green manure, leaf forage plant (ruminants and poultry), shade tree, in windbreaks, living fences, as supporter for pepper, betel and vanilla (India), as vegetable, especially in SE Asia (young leaves, pods and flowers for salads, curries, soups), as medicinal tree, fuel wood and more recently for reforestation programs and as raw material for paper industry (Australia, Hawaii e.g.). The tree is grown in homegardens, along dikes and road sides and in plantations. To Africa the tree was introduced already in the middle of the 19th cent.
