Teak Tree Seeds (Tectona grandis) – Premium Timber for Sustainable Cultivation

At Herbolaya, we offer high-quality Teak Tree Seeds (Tectona grandis) sourced from mature mother trees known for producing dense, durable, and finely-grained hardwood. Teak has long been revered in traditional and modern carpentry for its resistance to water, pests, and decay—making it one of the most sought-after timbers globally.

Why Choose Tectona Grandis?

Tectona grandis, commonly known as teak, is a tropical hardwood species native to India, Myanmar, and parts of Southeast Asia. Teak wood is prized for its:

• Exceptional strength and longevity

• Natural resistance to moisture and termites

• Elegant golden-brown hue and fine grain

• Minimal shrinkage and warping over time

It is widely used in the production of premium outdoor furniture, marine decking, high-end flooring, and artisanal carvings.

Seed Characteristics & Germination

Our teak seeds are carefully collected from 10 to 20-year-old healthy mother trees, ensuring genetic integrity and high germination potential.

Germination Tips:

• Pretreatment Required: Soak seeds in a cow dung and water mixture for 48 hours, or use alternate soaking and sun-drying cycles for 10–15 days.

• Optimal Conditions: Well-drained loamy soil and full sunlight are ideal for healthy germination.

• Germination Time: 10 to 45 days depending on climatic and soil conditions, with a success rate of up to 75%.

Ideal for Sustainable Timber Cultivation

Teak trees grow well in tropical climates with deep, well-drained soils. With basic care and adequate irrigation, they develop into full-grown trees ready for harvest in 25 to 30 years.

Key Uses of Mature Teak Wood:

• Boatbuilding – Thanks to its water resistance and stability

• Luxury Furniture – Both indoor and outdoor applications

• Flooring & Wall Paneling – Long-lasting and aesthetic

• Artisan Carving – Easily workable with fine detailing
