Melia dubia - success and saplings availability in Maharashtra

Dear Forum members,

I have a farm near Kalyan and I wish to plant Melia dubia. I have gone through lot of literature about it but most of it is from Tamil Nadu & Karnataka.

Has any one from Maharashtra been successful in this crop ? I would also like to know where the sapplings could be made available from.

Regards // Mihir

Dear Venkatesh sir, very much thankful to you and I am very much happy to know from you that the seedlings, germinated from seeds, are good and it reciprocates very well for organic mannures. As said by you it attains 20 cft wood in 6 or 7 years and 10 ft x 10 ft is best planting distance. g.p.rao,farmer

Hello Mihir were you able to know if Melia Dubia is successful in maharastra. I am also planning to plant on my farm near Murbad. Any help will be appreciated.

Dear Bobby,

Sorry for my late reply.

Through my experience, I found Melia to be very hardy, drought resistant and fast growing with no incidence of disease. On experimental scale (but without special care), I have recorded a growth of 10-12 ft in the first year. However the problem areas are - 1. Availability of seedlings in Mah. 2. Cattle grazing & fire 3. Market for the timber (I havent researched on this).

Hello experts
What is the life of this tree? What if I plant and not cut it for its timber but wait for its natural fall/death?
