Teak plantation

[dpkota71]

Dear forum members,

I have 1000sqr yrds of land in Uppal, hyderabad.

It is fenced, i wanted to grow TEak wood/Sandal wood in that land. So that when i retire i could sell to get money to fund my retirement.

I am 38 yrs old and intend it to keep it until i am 65.

Kindly advice the different tpes of teak wood trees avialable in india, which ismost priciest one.

Thank you

There are so many nurseries who sell good teak saplings, check to see the depth of your soil if its going to be hard rock after few feet, then its not advisable. the more the main strait root gets deeper the more the grith of the trunk, and like many do don't prune your tree too often, thinking it will grow tall, it will grow anyways.

Along with teak you can also do other timber varieties as African Mahogany and few other varities

Thanks,
Antony
