Teak [Tectona grandis L] is a tree originally from an area encompassing parts of India, Thailand, Myanmar and Laos. It seems to have been introduced to Java, Indonesia, in the 14th century. Some scientists consider the island of Java as part of the natural range for the species. It has performed well in plantations, not only in its Southeast Asian range of origin, but also in other parts of Asia, as well as in Africa and Latin America. Teak has been cultivated in the tropics for centuries. There are references to plantations established in India in the early 1800s, and in tropical America about 100 years later. Although it is not devoid of silvicultural and management difficulties, it may be fairly said that it is a well-known timber species, relatively benign and successful in plantation environments in the tropics.
Forest tree improvement planning commenced in 1930 (Wind, 1930; Thorenaar, 1930), some 17 years after the establishment of the Forest Research Station and 33 years after the formation of the Forest Service in 1897. Improvement work started with teak (Soerianegara, 1974) and was stimulated by the finding that there are several types of Javanese teak (Wind, 1930; Gresser, 1932). Coster (1931) reported on the flowering biology of teak. This study marked the beginning of teak tree improvement. |
