• Small size and tree should come to harvest within 10 to 12 years
• High volume of sandal oil formation in shorter duration
• The sandal oil is the good quality and high quality

For this “mother tree“ sucker will develop (regeneration) and it will again become tree in 4 to 5 years. From such tree seeds can be collected to produce seedling. Production of seedling through Genetically tracing method is the best.
