Question Teak seedlings from Assam

Teak(Tectona grandis) cultivation is very old in Assam and the tree is similar to Teak tree found in Burma/Myanmer.
ASSAM TEAK TREE SEEDLINGS ARE AVAILABLE IN BARE ROOT FORM AT SILCHAR,ASSAM.(Rs6 to Rs7 + courier charge).
I suggest 50% Teak and another 50% Gamori(Gmelina arborea) so that one can harvest Gamori in 6th year or so and Teak in 12th year or so.
The spacing may be as follows or otherwise
1)5 metres x 5 metres spacing:The plants may be planted in 5 metres apart in lines and row. This will give 160 trees per acre
2)5 metres x 4 metres spacing:The plants may be planted in lines of 5 meters apart and in lines, the trees may be planted at every 4 metres. This will give about 200 trees per acre.
