I have planted about 28 months ago Casurina Junghhuniana in about 12 acres in my farm at Villanganoor. I have visited Mettupalayam Forest Research Station about one year ago.
I believe the informations provided by Mr. Vishnushankar is closer to practical reality. As to Uniformity, there is no problem. But growth figures projected by private sapling sellers are far from truth. Howeve, care to be taken for this variety is much higher than the common variety. My farm is located in Madhuranthakam taluk of Tamil Nadu and is about 100 kms from Chennai. We have followed the spacing on 5 by 5 feet. If any one is keen to have a look at the plantation you are free to get in tocuh with me.
best regards
