Looking for high-quality clonal Casuarina plants in Udayanatham? Podhigai Nursery supplies certified clonal Casuarina plants to farmers, plantation owners and pulp-wood farming projects across Ariyalur district, from our outlet in Udayarpalayam taluk.
Ariyalur district sits on the northern edge of the Cauvery delta, where dependable irrigation gives way to land that is farmed harder for less certain water. That is the ground on which Casuarina tends to make sense: a crop that asks less of a borewell than paddy or sugarcane, and that produces something with an established market at the end of it.
Our Udayanatham outlet is there so growers in Udayarpalayam taluk do not have to travel to Trichy or Cuddalore for planting material. It is a point to check availability, to discuss quantities against the area you are planting, and to arrange collection or delivery.
Farmers around Jayankondam, Andimadam and Sendurai will find this the closest of our nine outlets.
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 Udayanatham 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We do not publish yield or income guarantees.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.
For a farmer in Ariyalur district considering Casuarina for the first time, the useful comparison is not clonal against nothing — it is clonal against seedlings. Clonal plants are propagated from selected mother plants, so a block grows evenly and matures together. Seedling material varies, and a variable block is harvested in stages, which costs money at the end.
Casuarina here is usually a several-year commitment on a defined piece of land, so it is worth deciding which plot before ordering. Plots that are difficult to keep under a water-hungry crop are often the ones that suit it best.
Spacing decides both the plant count and what you take off the land. Closer spacing suits a short pulp-wood rotation; wider spacing produces fewer, heavier stems over longer. Once you have chosen, the plant count follows arithmetically from your acreage — we will do it with you.
The plantation is decided in its first two to three months. Young plants need water through the first dry spell and need weeds kept off them; after that Casuarina is comparatively undemanding. Net pot plants help at exactly this stage, because the root ball is not broken at planting.
Plan the exit at the same time as the planting. Podhigai's harvesting service can be brought in when the crop is ready, and knowing that route exists is part of deciding whether the plantation is worth starting.
The Udayanatham outlet can serve farmers from Jayankondam, Andimadam, Sendurai, Ariyalur and Kattumannarkoil, and the farming villages of Udayarpalayam taluk around them.

Podhigai Nursery supports farmers beyond plant supply, through a wider pulp-wood ecosystem covering plantation guidance, farm management, plant-care solutions and harvesting services. For a grower in Udayanatham, the organisation you buy planting material from can also be involved when the plantation is standing and when it is ready to cut.
At the Podhigai Nursery outlet at Udayanatham, Udayarpalayam taluk, Ariyalur district, pin code 612902. It is the nearest of our nine outlets for farmers around Jayankondam and Andimadam.
Yes. Jayankondam, Andimadam, Sendurai, Ariyalur and Kattumannarkoil are all served from this outlet, and plantation quantities can be delivered to the field by arrangement.
CH 1, CH 2, CH 3, CH 4, CH 5 and CJ 9 under our IFGTB licence, plus clonal Eucalyptus EC-6 where availability is confirmed. Stock by clone varies through the season, so check before fixing planting dates.
Yes. The nursery supplies plantation-scale quantities as a matter of course. Give us the acreage and the planting month and we will confirm what can be ready.
It depends on spacing. Commercial pulp-wood plantings commonly run between roughly 1,800 and 2,700 plants per acre. Tell us the acreage and the rotation you are planning and we will work the figure out with you.
Many growers in this district plant Casuarina on the parts of a holding that are hard to irrigate reliably, rather than replacing a well-watered field. It is worth discussing your specific plot with us before deciding, because the answer depends on your water and your rotation, not on the crop in general.
