The number of sandalwood trees that can be planted per acre depends on spacing and planting strategy, as sandalwood is a semi-parasitic tree that depends on nearby plants for nutrients.
Standard spacing: 3 x 3 meters
This allows for approximately 435 trees per acre.
The standard planting density for sandalwood is about 300 to 400 trees per acre. However, some farmers plant up to 600 trees per acre, while others recommend a spacing of 193 trees per acre. The exact number depends on the spacing chosen and the type of host plant used.
Sandalwood trees require host plants such as:
These should be planted alongside the sandalwood to ensure adequate nutrient uptake and healthy growth.
