The bark of the tree is traditionally used as an analgesic and anti-diarrhoeal.[5] The apiose isoflavone compound lanceolarin is found in its root bark.[6]
Because it produces new stems (ramets), it is recommended for reforestation projects on degraded land where seeds are unlikely to grow successfully.[7]
