The sandalwood tree can grow in almost any part of India.The sandalwood tree flourishes in regions where the climate is cool with moderate rainfall,plentiful sunshine and long periods of dry weather.The tree accept most soil types,including sandy soil and garden loam.
If you have no place to transfer the plant to,you can keep the sandalwood tree in a large container in your balcony or terrace,strip compound.

2. Any legal formalities required to register or any to be done, what papers are required...
