Tissue Cultured Teak Saplings
General Information :
Teak is one of the most valued timbers of the world. Its timber qualities include attractiveness in colour and grain, durability, lightness, strength and ease of working and carving, resistance to termite and fungus and weathering.
Why Tissue Cultured Raised Teak- Gold plus?
- Plants raised from the superior mother plant.
- Genetically uniform plants.
- Disease free planting material.
- Uniform growth and development
- Harvesting can be done at the same time
The Growth Comparison of Teak Raised by Tissue Culture and Conventional Methods

Season Of Planting : Preferable in July to September. However, can be planted anytime except very high and low temperature
Spacing : The planting distance for monoculture system is 2m x 2m, while for intercropping, it is 3m x 6m
Days to flowering : 90 days to 110 days
Harvesting : Tissue cultured raised plants which, are able to be harvested quicker (15 to 20 years) with the acceptable wood quality ate national and international markets.
Yield : At the best we may expect a tree to produce a maximum of 238 m3 of timber from 350 trees in 15 years under best conditions of intensive management.
