Kikar tree plantation

[neelamhere]

Hello,

I would like to know how kikar tree is planted via seed or sapling. A large hilly area around a village is earmarked for a building. There were kikar trees there and a few still exists with weaver birds' nest and colony. I would like to grow in safe vicinity some kikar tree so I would like to know how they are grown.

The leaves are light green and fern like up to 120 mm long and 50 mm wide. Flowers are 10- 15 mm in diameter, which grow in cluster between 4 -6 and are sweetly scented.
It is widely found in the State of Haryana in India. It can also be found in the Ranthambore National Park of India.
