Melia Dubia

The mixed plantation of melia Dubia & casuarina is not advisable aswellas not possible.Because the dimension of the casuarina tree & melia Dubia tree entirely different .The melia Dubia tree spacing will more high while comparing with causationa.An account of this spacing variation both casuarina and melia Dubia will spoiled.


Thank you

Hi, It is possible to grow Casuarina and Melia dubia together. There are two successful plantations with this combination in the dry district of Ananthapur in Andhra Pradesh. They are very successful. Both these plantations are over 50 Ha and are raised by one minister and another MLA of the district. In fact, this model was suggested by us to these gentlemen because, we feared that Melia will not grow well in a dry area like Ananathapur ( but they were very insisting to grow Melia ) and so at least Casuarina junghuhniana will survive. Casuarina junghuhniana is hardy species and can grow in dry areas. It should be kept in mind that in the first two years, till Casuarina junghuhniana establishes well, you may need to replace the dead seedlings which can be up to 20 %. But once it establishes, it grows well inland. The spacing can be 3m x 3m in the mixed plantation.

However, keep in mind that if you want to plant Casuarina inland ( not coastal area ) then you have to choose Casuarina junghuhniana and not Casuarina equistifolia. About Ailanthus and Melia combination, I have no examples to quote.
