Default Tissue culture Teak plantations

Dear Pharmadig,

Thank you for information in the site.I am also not blaming you and also discourage.You are telling Burma Teak .I think Teak is one variety but it differ in growth rate ,setting of heart wood, Dimenstion of tree size and cft of timber place to place.But here what i feel and telling ,by planting tissue culture Teak saplings the setting of heart wood is 70% minimum.By opting and seleting seedlings /stump planting is it possible?.The setting of heartwood is deciding factor of price of Teak timber.If we plant seedlings /stumps I think surely the heart wood portion will be minimum 30%An account of this the farmers will not get better price during the harvest period.And also you have quoted that we have wait for 12 to 18 years.Ok by planting seedlings /stumps how long we can wait for Harvesting?.You know veener approch grafting method and epicotyl grafting,softwood grafting in fruit plants like mango,sapota ,ground layers in guva, airlayers in pomogranite, and cloning in melia Dubia/eugaliptus .These methods are invented for what? For reducing the cultivation periods and better yields.I have quoted all spices are having seeds .If we go for propagation of seedlings by seeds.What is result ? kindly tell me your opinion in this regard.

thanking you

yours in green revolution
