Red Sanders, or *Pterocarpus santalinus*, is a tiny deciduous tree that is indigenous to India’s southern Eastern Ghats. It can reach a height of 8 meters and is highly appreciated for its rich, deep red heartwood, which is used for traditional medicine, furniture, and sculptures despite not having an aromatic flavor. The tree grows slowly and is endangered because of overharvesting, yet it does well in warm regions and dry, rocky soils. Additionally, its wood is utilized as a natural dye and in religious ceremonies.
