Ahmedabad, Gujarat, India: Rising timber demand in India has boosted the price of agroforestry trees like Melia Dubia, which is also known as Malabar neem, malai vembu, hebbevu, or kaadu bevu.

This tree is ideal for growing for agroforestry, as it grows up to 40 feet in 2 years, and reaches maturity for pulp and paper within 3-5 years, and for plywood and wood uses in 5-7 years.

One of the best aspects of Melia Dubia is that it has a relatively small crown of leaves, which causes minimal shading on the surrounding areas of land. For this reason, Melia Dubia can be planted alongside a variety of other crops, as long as the trees are spaced at least 10 x 10 feet apart.

Some of the most commonly-planted crops around Melia Dubia include groundnuts, black gram and green gram. These plants all thrive near the trees, and the roots of the Melia Dubia tree help discourage soil erosion, which helps improve plant yield and health.

In addition, Melia Dubia can even be used to plant between the gaps of other trees on your property, such as teak, nutmeg, coconut, and even banana trees. This allows you to add more variation to the types of trees you are growing on your farm, and the short time-to-maturity of Melia Dubia helps you maximize profitability.

Regardless of whether Melia Dubia is planted with crops or other trees, its versatility, quick maturity time and high value make it a great addition for farmers who are interested in the benefits of agroforestry.
