This presentation discusses the silvicultural characteristics of two tree species: Terminalia chebula and Terminalia belerica. For each species, it describes their tolerance to light, frost, drought, fire, coppicing, browsing, tree nature, soil type, root system, and associated species. It provides details on their botanical classification and uses. The key silvicultural characteristics of T. chebula are that it is a light demander, frost hardy, drought resistant, fire tolerant tree that coppices well. For T. belerica, it notes that the species is a light demander, frost tender, drought resistant, fire tolerant tree. The presentation concludes by thanking the audience.
