Neem tree proper noun or common noun?

"Neem tree" is a common noun.

Here's why:

* Common nouns refer to general categories of people, places, things, or ideas. They are not capitalized unless they are the first word of a sentence.

* Proper nouns refer to specific people, places, or things and are always capitalized.

While "Neem" is a specific type of tree, it's not a unique, individual tree. It refers to a whole category of trees.
