Pterocarpus santalinus, red sanderswood, red saunders, red sandalwood. genus Pterocarpus, Pterocarpus – genus of tropical trees or climbers having usually broadly winged pods.Click to see full answer. Thereof, what is Red Sanders used for?Red sandalwood is a tree. The wood at the center of the trunk (heartwood) is used as medicine. People use red sandalwood for conditions such as cancer, wounds, digestive tract problems, fluid retention, and many others, but there is no good scientific evidence to support these uses.Subsequently, question is, what is the price of red sandalwood in India? “A tonne of red sanders fetches up to Rs 20 lakh in India but its international landing price is above Rs 50-80 lakh,” a forest officer from the Vellore range said last year. Similarly, it is asked, why is red sandalwood banned? Because S. album is highly valued in India and uncontrolled harvesting have cause populations to dwindle in recent years, India has imposed an export ban on Sandalwood and instated conservation measures to protect the species in the country. Sandalwood is now grown on plantations in Australia.How do you grow Red Sanders?Red Sandalwood grows well in red soils on high altitudes of the Eastern Ghats in Kadapa, Kurnool, Chittoor and Nellore districts of Andhra Pradesh, South India. Choose a planting site with a blend of loam and sand that drains well and dig a hole about a foot deep and fill it with water.
