Dear Members,

In general the following fast growing timber trees are recommended for the plains of southern India:

1.Gmelina Arborea (Kumil in Tamil)
2.Melia Dubia (Malai Vembu in Tamil)
3.Casuarina Junghuhniana (Indonesian 'Savukku')
4.Ailanthus Excelsa (Perumaram or Pee maram in Tamil)
5.Grewia Tiliaefolia (Thadasu or Sadachi in Tamil)
6.Khaya Senegalansis (Kaya or Senegal Mahogany)
7.Albizia Falcataria (Kattumaram in Tamil)
8.Pterocarpus Santalinus (Red Sanders/ Sivappu Santhanam in Tamil)
9.Acacia Auriculiformis (Pencil Tree)
10.Anthocephalus Indicus (Vellai Kadambu in Tamil)

But if you want to get returns within 4 to 5 years and very particular about it then select either Casuarina or Eucalyptus which may give you around Rs.15,000 to 20,000/Acre/Annum depending on the soil type, fertility and water availability of your farm.

Plant timber trees and prosper.
