Agarwood trees are suitable for planting in spring, usually in March and April each year when the temperature rises and the spring shoots have not yet sprouted or are about to sprout, choose a rainy day for planting.

Benefits of Agarwood Tree Planting

The price of agarwood trees is relatively high because of excessive exploitation and their output is decreasing. If they are cultivated artificially, they need to be maintained for 3 years before the leaves can be picked to make health tea. After 3-4 years, they will bloom and bear fruit. The fruit is an important medicinal chemical raw material with very high social and economic benefits.
