Looking for high-quality clonal Casuarina plants in Narsipatnam? Podhigai Nursery supplies certified clonal Casuarina plants to farmers, plantation owners and pulp-wood farming projects in Anakapalle district, Andhra Pradesh, through its Narsipatnam outlet.
The country inland of Visakhapatnam, around Narsipatnam and Chodavaram, is farmed intensively and sits within reach of the industrial demand on the north Andhra coast. Pulp-wood plantations are an established part of the cropping pattern in this belt rather than a novelty.
Podhigai Nursery's Narsipatnam outlet is our northernmost, and the point of contact for farmers in Anakapalle district who want IFGTB-licensed clonal planting material. It is served from our nurseries in Tamil Nadu, so quantities and timing are worth settling early in the conversation.
This page is available in Telugu — use the language bar at the top of the screen.
A licensed partner of the Institute of Forest Genetics and Tree Breeding (IFGTB), Coimbatore — a Government of India institute — since 2022, to propagate and sell clonal Casuarina and Eucalyptus commercially.
One person can carry around 500 net pot plants against roughly 120 in root trainers, and the root system is not disturbed when the plant goes into the field.
The nursery exists to supply plantation-scale growers, so quantities, clone choice and supply planning are routine rather than a special case.
Beyond the plants, Podhigai works with farmers on plantation planning, farm management, plant-care products and pulp-wood harvesting.
Suitable for farmers planning commercial pulp-wood plantations. The clones covered by our IFGTB licence are:
Which clone suits a given field depends on soil, water availability and the rotation you are planning, so it is worth discussing before you order.
Clone EC-6, propagated under the same IFGTB licence, where availability is confirmed at the time of enquiry.
Availability of both species varies through the season. Please check current stock for the Narsipatnam outlet before planning your planting dates.
We do not publish yield or income guarantees. Growth and returns depend on soil, irrigation, spacing and management, and any figure quoted without knowing your field would be a guess.
Clonal plants are propagated from selected mother plants, so a block grows evenly and reaches a cuttable size together. Where a plantation is being grown to sell as pulp-wood, that evenness is the difference between clearing a block in one operation and going back over it.
Our propagation nurseries are in Tamil Nadu, at Manikandam and Manamthavizhnthaputhur. Plants for Andhra Pradesh come from there, which is not a problem but is a logistics question: agree the quantity, the clone and the delivery window before the planting season rather than during it.
Spacing sets the plant count and the size of stem you eventually cut. A shorter rotation takes closer spacing; a longer one takes fewer plants with more room. Once you have decided which you are growing for, the count follows from the acreage.
The first two to three months decide the plantation, wherever it is. Young plants need water through the first dry spell and need weeds kept off them. Net pot plants go into the ground with the root ball intact, which also makes them easier to move in quantity — one person can carry around 500 against roughly 120 in root trainers.
Plan the exit alongside the planting. Talk to us about harvesting arrangements at the point of ordering, so you know what is available in your area before the crop is standing.

Podhigai Nursery supports farmers beyond plant supply, through a wider pulp-wood ecosystem covering plantation guidance, farm management, plant-care solutions and harvesting services.

Yes. Tell us the acreage and the month you plan to plant. Plants for this outlet are raised at our Tamil Nadu nurseries, so quantity orders need more lead time here than they do closer to Trichy — worth allowing for.
It depends on your spacing. Commercial pulp-wood plantings commonly run between roughly 1,800 and 2,700 plants per acre. Give us the acreage and the rotation you are planning and we will work the figure out with you.
