About this book

Red sanders is one of the most highly prized timbers in the world. Red sanders has been widely used in traditional healthcare for many centuries. It is endemic to south India and distributed over some 9600 km² of land. Its global trade dates back at least 400 years. There is a huge demand on international markets, especially in China and Japan. Due to its ever-increasing market demand and price, foresters and farmers are interested in cultivating red sanders on a large scale. So far, comprehensive, concise, and complete information on red sanders is not available, especially regarding the establishment and management of plantations, heartwood formation and its quality, trade, legislation and regulations at both domestic and international levels. With these knowledge gaps in mind, this monograph on Red sanders was written, containing 25 illustrated chapters.
