Description:

  • Sundari Mangrove (Heritiera fomes) is a species of mangrove tree that is commonly found in the estuaries and tidal creeks of the Indian subcontinent, Southeast Asia, and northern Australia. It is known for its distinct aerial roots that help the tree to anchor itself in the soft mud of the intertidal zone.
  • Sundari Mangrove trees can grow up to 30 meters in height and have a dense, spreading crown with broad, shiny leaves that are leathery and oval in shape. The flowers of the Sundari Mangrove are small, white, and fragrant, and are followed by fruits that are large and woody with a single seed.
  • The Sundari Mangrove is an important species in its ecosystem as it provides habitat and food for a variety of animal species such as mud crabs, fish, and birds. Its leaves, bark, and fruit are also used for medicinal purposes in traditional medicine.

Unfortunately, the Sundari Mangrove is threatened by deforestation, pollution, and climate change. The destruction of mangrove habitats not only affects the Sundari Mangrove but also impacts the health of the surrounding ecosystems, including the fish and bird populations that rely on the mangroves for survival.

Plantation Process:

Here are the steps for planting Heritiera fomes, or Sundari Mangrove:

  • Choose a suitable location: Sundari Mangroves grow well in areas with brackish or saline water. Choose a location near a water source, such as a river or tidal creek.
  • Collect seeds: Collect Sundari Mangrove seeds from mature trees. The seeds are large, woody, and have a single seed inside.
  • Prepare the planting site: Sundari Mangroves grow in soft mud, so you'll need to prepare the planting site by removing any debris and compacted soil. Make sure the site is well-draining.
  • Plant the seeds: Plant the Sundari Mangrove seeds in the mud, about 1 to 2 inches deep. Space the seeds at least 6 feet apart to allow room for growth.
  • Water the seeds: Water the seeds immediately after planting, and ensure that they receive ample water regularly. Sundari Mangroves require plenty of water to grow well.
  • Protect the seeds: Protect the seeds from strong winds and predators. You can use netting or other protective barriers to keep them safe.
  • Monitor growth: Monitor the growth of the Sundari Mangrove trees regularly. The trees will take several years to reach maturity, so be patient.
