When does aonla (amla) start bearing and what yield can a mature orchard give?

Grafted aonla usually starts bearing a few years after planting and builds up to good yield as the tree matures, with a well grown mature tree giving a large quantity of fruit and the orchard staying productive for many years. Yield per tree and per acre rise substantially with age, variety, cross pollination and care, but published figures vary widely, so treat them as ranges and confirm what mature orchards in your belt actually give through your KVK and local growers. The keys to good yield are planting more than one variety for cross pollination, some protective irrigation especially during fruit development even on dry land, and basic nutrition and pruning. Because aonla is hardy and low input, even moderate yields can be worthwhile on marginal land. Do not rely on a single high yield figure; plan with a conservative range and verify locally before counting on the income.
