About the Product

Santalum album (white sandalwood) is a valuable aromatic tree prized for its fragrant heartwood and essential oil, widely used in perfumes, carvings, and religious practices. It grows best in warm tropical climates with temperatures of about 20–30°C and annual rainfall between 600–1,600 mm. In Kerala, the warm, humid climate and well-drained lateritic or loamy soils provide favorable conditions for cultivation, provided waterlogging is avoided. The tree also requires adequate sunlight and suitable host plants for healthy growth.
