Hello Sir
Yes u can grow melia dubia
Melia dubia grows on a variety of soils; however, it grows well in deep, fertile and sandy loam soils. It has the unique feature of growing to
40 feet within two years from planting and can be mechanically pruned and harvested.

It does well in moist regions, with a mean annual rainfall exceeding 1000 mm.

The rooted saplings are planted onset of the monsoon or during the monsoon.

Suggested pit size is 2’ x 2’- 0.60 m Cube.

Spacing of 3 m x 3 m is recommended.

Straight pole fetches good price in the market.

Under irrigated condition in fertile soil, the plant produces 3 to 4 branches at the height of 12-14 feet.

Each tree is expected produce 5-7 cu.ft. of timber and the farmers may get 15 lakh from one hectare of land after six years with current price of wood (Rs. 300 per cu.ft.)

In Ongole Dist is situated near by seashore.We will not predict the wind velocity during the monsoon season.The Melia Dubia will not have much surface roots(Fibroous).Its stands on only tab root.So the melia Dubia will fall down for wind velocity and heavy storm.
