Soil Type
Water: Originating from monsoon climates, chittagong wood thrives in alternating wet and dry conditions. Watering should be every 2-3 weeks to avoid over- or under-watering. It prefers well-drained soil, benefiting from natural rain outdoors, or container planting with proper drainage.
Fertilize: Chittagong wood requires high nitrogen fertilizers for optimal growth, bi-monthly during spring/summer, and quarterly in fall/winter. Use a balanced, slow-release formula to prevent root damage. Adjust feeding based on maturity and conduct annual soil tests to customize the nutrient regimen.
Pruning: Chittagong wood features a tall, straight trunk with valuable hardwood. Prune in early spring while dormant to promote growth and improve structure. Remove dead or crossing branches for better air circulation. This practice enhances timber quality and reduces pests, with light shaping later in the season.
Propagation: Chittagong wood is a valued timber tree that can be propagated by sowing seeds. Successful germination requires pre-sowing treatments like soaking or mild acid application, well-draining soil, proper spacing, ample light with some shade, and consistent moisture and warmth.
