Growing & Establishment
Fruit tree seeds are best sown fresh — viability declines rapidly after collection. Most species are raised in polybag nurseries and transplanted during the monsoon. Seed-raised trees develop stronger, deeper root systems suited to challenging and rain-fed sites, and are preferred for farm forestry and homestead planting across India.
Use in India
India's diverse climate zones support a wide range of tropical and subtropical fruit trees. Homestead fruit tree planting is promoted under multiple central and state government schemes for food security, nutrition, and supplementary farm income.
Seeds are sourced from high-yielding, disease-free mother trees across India. Germination is tested before dispatch. Bulk quantities for orchard establishment, farm forestry programmes, and nursery supply are available. We ship internationally.

Tips
- Sow on the surface — this fine seed needs light and won't germinate well if buried A humid, covered setup (propagator lid or plastic bag) makes a real difference for this species Germination timing is unpredictable — don't be discouraged if it takes much longer than the average
