Growing Trees

Hi,

I have decided to plant coffee plants in my land. Can anyone suggest me which is profitable shading tree i can plant, either agarwood or silveroak

Hi? You cannot go with either agarwood or silver oak alone for shade in coffee plantation. However silver oak is planted for the purpose of timber also little bit of shade. But Haalavana, gliricedia etc are required for good shade in some times and the said green plants green leafs can be utilized as green mulch/manure

Thanks for reply Mr.Swamy, But i wanted to know that along with coffee plant which one is best profitable in another 10 years. please suggest. what is the profit i get after 10 years if i prefer Haalavana or gliricedia. i am in confusion stage. since the land is not cultivated before. even i prefer green mulch/manure.
