Teak Wood Plant – Tectona grandis (Sagwan)

Other Common Names: Sagwan, Burmese Teak
Scientific Name: Tectona grandis

Overview:

The Teak Wood Plant, also known as Sagwan or Tectona grandis, is a timeless symbol of durability and natural beauty. Celebrated for its majestic foliage and high-quality hardwood, it is one of the most sought-after ornamental and forestry species. Native to South and Southeast Asia, it thrives in tropical conditions, making it an ideal plant for most parts of Kerala. Though famously grown for timber, the young teak plant also serves as a striking ornamental addition to any landscape, offering lush, large green leaves that add a tropical charm.

This live plant is well-suited for home gardens, villas, institutions, and estate landscaping. With minimal maintenance and steady growth, it is both a visual delight and a long-term investment. Whether planted in rows or as standalone centerpieces, these plants eventually transform the landscape with grandeur and grace.

Why Grow a Teak Plant?

Teak is globally respected for its water-resistant, termite-resistant hardwood. While the wood is harvested only after decades, growing a teak plant at home or in landscapes enhances both ecological value and heritage aesthetics. The young plant offers large, ribbed leaves that filter sunlight beautifully and create a natural green canopy. Adding this plant reflects sustainability, biodiversity, and long-term vision in landscaping. Plus, it holds a natural resistance to most pests, making it low-maintenance for gardeners.
