Melia volkensii (Mukau) is a dryland hardwood species which is native to Asal regions of Kitui, Makueni, Machakos and Embu.
The tree can be intercropped very well with other food crops and act as a wind shield and cover crop.
Melia produces very high quality hard wood and is referred to as the African mahogany.
Our Melia tree project involves the selling of Melia Seedlings and Seeds to Farmers in the Machakos County and Kenya as a whole.
Melia Volkensii is a hardwood tree that grows in dry areas and is good for climate change mitigation. We encourage farmers to plant these trees, as they can make money while protecting the environment.
For also wider reach one can order Melia Seedlings from our online listings and delivery is done allover Kenya.
The benefits of improved trees are clear. Faster growth and straighter branches yield more fruit in a shorter time frame. With regular improvements, we can provide an even better product to our customers and continue to set the industry standard.
This project is a great way to help support sustainable forestry practices while also helping smallholder farmers in Kenya.
Vision:
Partnering with farmers to establish tree farms on their lands and share a profit in eventual
To provide planting inputs and other necessary support, making it easy for these farmers to get started.
