SHIMOGA VANILLA FARM A EXPLORATION

Located in the interior Kranataka near to the Jog falls is our place caled shimoga where we cultivate some part of vanilla plants and where our mother plants nursery is located.. In the Areca supari belt most of the arecanut trees are used as trainers for new vanilla and vanilla and areca have great affinity to each other.

 

 

In shimoga we grow our vanilla under supari - areca catechu trees or on them as shown here

Mostly vanilla vine support could be out of erythrina and glyricidia plants-trees
