Experience the exceptional benefits and sustainable growth of Gmelina arborea, also known as Gumhar, Kashmir Teak, or Teca Blanca. Native to Southeast Asia and distinguished for its adaptability, Gmelina arborea is a cornerstone in sustainable forestry and reforestation, endorsed by organizations.. This fast-growing species, belonging to the Verbenaceae family, can reach heights of 65-100 ft and thrives in tropical and subtropical climates. Its resilience makes it ideal for diverse projects, from combating soil erosion to enhancing biodiversity.

Historically revered in regions like India and the Philippines for construction and soil conservation, this lightweight yet durable wood is prized for furniture, musical instruments, and more. Economically, Gmelina offers quick returns, as it can be harvested within 5-7 years, providing valuable timber while its leaves contribute as livestock fodder. Environmental benefits abound, including improved soil quality and CO2 absorption.
