Dear Members,
We have farm lands close to 40 acres in Tamilnadu, Tiruvannamalai District.
step by step we are planning to change atleast 50% of our land to Tree plantations.
currently we are cultivating Paddy and sugarcane in these lands.
We cannot go for fruit trees as there are few monkeys in the village - which destroys the fruits in the early stage itself.
I need advise from the members abut what type of trees I can opt for.
one tree in my mind is the cotton tree ( in tamil ilavan panji) which can start yielding cotton from 4'th or 5'th year.
people advised for Eucalyptus as some part of the land is dry and arid - but I personally do not want to plant as it reduces the water table level.
I need forum's help to guide me for the appropriate tree cultivation.
Thanks in advance,
Vishwa.
