Cultivate one of the world’s most celebrated aromatic trees with genuine Santalum album seeds. Commonly known as Indian Sandalwood, White Sandalwood or Chandan, this tropical evergreen is internationally valued for the distinctive fragrance that develops in its mature heartwood.
Indian Sandalwood is suitable for botanical collections, specialty plantations, agroforestry projects and experienced growers in warm climates. The young tree is partially dependent on neighbouring plants for nutrients, so it should be established beside a compatible host such as pigeon pea, sesbania or acacia. It requires well-drained soil, warmth and carefully controlled moisture.
