Recommended Tree Species for Reforestation & Timber

Recommended Tree Species for Reforestation & Timber

Stump-grown forestry plants offer an efficient and sustainable way to establish large-scale timber and reforestation projects. These plants are cultivated from root-shoot sections of young seedlings, ensuring strong root development, faster growth, and higher survival rates. Popular species such as Teak (Tectona grandis), Shisham (Dalbergia sissoo), Gmelina arborea (Gambhar), Acacia auriculiformis, Albizia lebbeck, and Eucalyptus thrive across  varied climates. Ideal for reforestation, timber plantations, and soil restoration, stump planting is cost-effective, easy to transport, and best performed during the monsoon season. Choose high-quality stumps for healthier growth, long-term yield, and sustainable forest development.
