Sandalwood is highly in demand in India since ages. The plantations of sandalwood should therefore be a profitable investment. We provide our clients the best quality Sandal Wood Plants.
Environmental conditions and management techniques necessary for the production of Sandalwood are briefly described:
- Habitat – India, Rainfall – 200 to 800mm/year
- Temperature 35 – 40 degrees Celsius, Mean coldest month - 5 – 10 degrees Celsius
- Sandalwood is a parasitic plant so it requires host plants to partner with. It is dependent on these host plants for its nutrients and water demands to achieve and sustain healthy growth. Nursery raised host Cloned Plants such as mango or other suitable plant should be planted first followed by direct Clone of the Sandalwood nuts adjacent to these established hosts.
- Sandalwood is dependent on other plants for minerals and water, but still needs sunlight to make its own sugars, which is why it has green leaves despite having roots which attach themselves to the roots of other plants. The parasitic roots will extend some 10m from the base of each sandalwood tree. The trees need a lot of light, and are easily overgrown.
- The Sandal wood naturally grown in southern states of India where soil pH is between 6-8 and climatic temperatures between 5C-50C.
- Space required for each tree is 144 square feet (12 x12).
