At Redsan Plantation, we are proud to be India’s leading nursery with the specialized expertise required to enhance Sandalwood heartwood quality.

 

While nature typically takes 8 years to begin heartwood formation, our advanced induction techniques optimize this process, ensuring superior scent and oil density. We don't just sell saplings; we provide a roadmap to success.

​

The Three-Tier Host Training

Sandalwood is a "hemi-parasite." Its roots have "haustoria" (suction cups) that must attach to other plants to draw nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. 

• Primary Host (0–1 Year): Usually planted in the nursery bag itself.

  • Best choices: Red Gram (Arhar) or Mimosa pudica.

• Secondary Host (1–3 Years): Planted 2–3 feet away from the sandalwood. These provide immediate nutrition as the tree grows.

  • Best choices: Amla, Custard Apple, or Sesbania (Agathi).

• Permanent Host (3 Years – Harvest): Large trees planted in a 1:1 or 2:1 ratio.

  • Best choices: Casuarina, Melia Dubia (Malabar Neem), or Neem.
