🌸 Flowering & Fruiting Timeline
- Grafted trees:
👉 3–5 years after planting
(earlier flowering due to mature scion material) - Seed-grown trees:
👉 7–10 years after planting
(longer juvenile phase)
🌿 Key Notes
- Flowering usually precedes fruiting (pili nuts) and resin production potential
- Trees are dioecious (male and female trees are separate), so:
- You need both sexes for fruit production
- Peak productivity increases as the tree matures (10+ years)
🌳 Practical Insight (For Your Plantation Model)
For your agroforestry system (CAPI / ANOC / CESI integration):
- Use grafted elite cultivars → faster ROI
- Maintain male:female ratio (~1:8 to 1:10) for pollination
- Combine with resin tapping at maturity for dual income stream
If you want, I can design a high-yield plantation layout for pili + agarwood integration, including spacing, sex ratio planning, and phased income projections.
