Planting season
The planting season begins from 15 December till the 2nd week of February. However, January is the best planting season for these trees. If you are a beginner then it is considered to select 6 to 7 feet tall plants only. In the popular farm 15 to 16 feet tall plants are also available but avoid them and pick smaller plants up to 6 to 7 feet only. This is because air can easily shake and weaken the grip of the taller plants and it is difficult for an inexperienced person to manage this situation.
Selling time for good revenue
An average popular tree price per kg is Rs 7 to 14 and to get a good selling price one should sell the wood when it is not available in the market. July-August is the month of the rainy season. At this time popular wood is hardly harvested from the farm due to water in the farm and the roads. Due to less harvesting less supply is done in the wood mandi resulting in a price hike. This is the right time to sell the wood to get the highest popular price.
On the other hand, the poplar tree rate decreases due to an oversupply of wood in the wood market. Rate decreases because the harvesting is done along with sugarcane harvesting resulting in more supply and less demand.
