Planning to plant border trees (Mahogany, Hebbevu, Sarve, and Tega) - Ideas?

Farm Questions
1

Hi,

I’m planning to plant border trees (Mahogany, Hebbevu, Sarve, and Tega) as windbreakers around my 7-acre farm (black soil/“Antu mannu”). I’m thinking of spacing them 5 feet apart, planted 3 feet away from the compound wall.

For the sequence, I’m considering a repeating pattern like:
Mahogany – Hebbevu – Sarve – Tega – Mahogany – …

Would this arrangement work well?

  • Are these species suitable for black soil?
  • Is 5 ft spacing okay for windbreak density?
  • Any other suggestions for the order or species?

Thanks in advance for your help!

Black soil of South India , which is called " Regur " or " Black Cotton Soil " is very fertile contains alumina, iron oxide, lime, magnesium carbonates, and poor nitrogen, phosphorus, and organic matter content . So instead of Mahagony you can try Bamboo ,or forest plant species i.e. Sal , Mahua ,

If the intention is to protect from high wind and avoid soil erosion, better to go for Bamboo. Mahagoney space to be more than 15 ft tree to tree.
