Ofram

Terminalia superba

Role: High canopy shade tree and timber species

Spacing: 12m x 24m

Benefits: Relatively rapid early growth; timber harvestable from year 15-25; erosion control; microclimate regulation; leaf litter improves soil fertility

Planting notes: Plant in June-August. Seeds preferred where available. Light demanding species: so, monitor canopy competition with neighbouring trees. Thinning around year 5 as needed.
