Planting details
It must be planted in cubical pits of 90x90x90 cm covered with about 3kg of farmyard manure and soil.The plants should be planted in a straight line at a spacing of about 5x5 feet between them. About 1,500 seedlings are required for planting in one acre.During the initial stages, the seedlings must be irrigated once every 5-7 days for the first 6 months. The trees attain maturity in about 7-8 years after which they can be harvested.A full-grown tree attains a height of about 8 feet.

While harvesting, care should be taken to see that a small portion of the stem (about one foot) is left above ground level.
The cut end of the stem should be covered with plastic bags to enable the tree to grown again.
