What is Semal Plantation?

Semal (Bombax ceiba), also known as the Red Silk Cotton tree, is a hardy, fast-growing deciduous tree native to the Indian subcontinent. It features a straight cylindrical trunk with characteristic horizontal branch whorls and buttressed roots at maturity. Its soft, lightweight timber is widely used in packaging boxes, safety matches, plywood core veneers, and light carpentry.

Benefits for Western UP Farmers

Hardy & Low Maintenance: Once established in the first year, Semal withstands dry spells and varied weather conditions.
Effective Field Border Windbreak: Helps shield delicate field crops against severe windstorms.
Deciduous in Winter: Drops foliage in late winter before blooming, minimizing shade on Rabi crops.
Long-term Farm Boundary Asset: Provides high volume of light commercial timber without intensive management.
