MANAGEMENT OF PLANTATIONS

Plantation grown teak (Tectona grandis) has a high density and naturally high oil content. It's silvicultural management is somewhat similar to that of English Oak, in that it takes around 80 - 100 years to reach maturity, during which time it's initial close planting (to promote straight, unbranched stems) is gradually reduced by a number of thinnings, to allow the remaining stand to develop. In almost all plantations in Java, teak seedlings are planted as part of an agroforestry programme, in which the inter-rows are planted with rice, corn and other cash crops, in order that local farmers can derive an income during the initial years.

CARE OF TEAK FURNITURE

Teak sawn timber is resistant to rot when exposed to the elements, and also to almost all know insect species attack. It will last for many years in an unprotected state, and over a period of time, the furniture will take on an attractive silver/grey appearance.
