Dear Yazdyji, I have been trying without success to get a sapling of Gliricidia sepium as we have a rat menace at our apartment compound. A family of bandicoots has made itself so well entrenched that their burrows have killed a row of various coloured Ceasalpinia pulcherrima adjacent to our compound wall. The one cutting I obtained did not root, (inspite of it being called Quickstick)! My neihbours have tried Rat poison but it has not worked.
In 1960, my uncle had planted a whole lot of these saplings to give shelter to teak seedlings he had planted on his land, which was on a small hill behind the farmhouse at a village (Ghunpur) near Nizamabad. He had hoped that a teak forest would make the summers more bearable. I too would love to obtain some seeds from you. Rgds, Padmini Raghavan.
