Melia dubia, popularly known as Malabar Neem, is a fast-growing, high-yield timber tree widely cultivated for commercial plantations, agroforestry, and sustainable wood production. Native to South and Southeast Asia, this deciduous tree has gained immense popularity due to its quick growth rate, adaptability, and excellent wood quality.
Malabar Neem can reach up to 40–60 feet in just 5–7 years under ideal conditions, making it a favorite among farmers and plantation owners. The tree produces straight, cylindrical trunks with minimal branching, resulting in high-quality, knot-free timber ideal for plywood, furniture, construction, and paper industries. It also helps improve soil fertility and acts as a carbon sink, contributing to climate-resilient farming.
