Once transferred from our on-site nursery and before planting in the field, neem saplings are placed underneath a selection of our coconut trees. The long, wide and sturdy fronds of the palms shelter our saplings during their initial days outside of the nursery, offering extra protection in this transitional phase. Neem is not the only beneficiary in this arrangement due to the tree’s natural ability to deter pests.
