How is commercial Curry Leaf planted and when does it start yielding?

Commercial curry leaf is grown from seedlings or suckers planted at a spacing that suits regular leaf cutting, often a fairly close hedge like planting for high leaf production per acre. It is a hardy perennial that, after establishment, starts giving harvestable leaf within roughly the first year or so and then yields repeatedly for many years, with periodic cutting back encouraging fresh flush. It grows on well drained soils and tolerates a range of conditions once established, needing moderate irrigation for good leaf flush. Regular harvesting and light pruning keep the plants bushy and productive. Confirm the recommended variety, spacing and plant density with your horticulture department or KVK for your area, since these affect your per acre leaf yield.
