What spacing and planting material gives best results for Melia dubia timber?

Planting material makes a big difference in Melia dubia. Tissue culture or quality clonal plants give more uniform, faster, straighter growth than ordinary seedlings, though they cost more. For plywood grade logs many growers keep spacing around 10 by 10 feet or wider, roughly 400 trees per acre or fewer, so each tree gets light to thicken. For pulp or packing wood you can plant denser. Choose clones suited to your region from a reliable source and avoid cheap unknown stock. Give irrigation in the first two years for good establishment, since survival and girth depend heavily on early water. Confirm clone availability and suitability with a forestry nursery or research station near you.
