Commonly cited in agricultural literature at roughly 20–25% crude protein (dry matter) in leaf — among the higher-protein fodder shrubs in this catalog. Get your own batch lab-tested before quoting exact figures to buyers.
زرعی لٹریچر میں عام طور پر تقریباً 20 سے 25 فیصد خام پروٹین بتائی جاتی ہے۔
Naturally suited to 350–600mm/year; tolerates less once established but performs best with some reliable seasonal moisture.
قدرتی طور پر 350 سے 600 ملی میٹر سالانہ بارش کے لیے موزوں۔
Only moderately salt-tolerant — not a first choice for highly saline soil or brackish irrigation water; best on non-saline, well-drained ground.
کھارے پن کی برداشت معتدل ہے — انتہائی کھاری زمین کے لیے بہترین انتخاب نہیں۔

A fast-growing, high-protein fodder shrub originally from the Canary Islands and widely naturalised in the Australian bush. Lucerne Tree tolerates poor, sandy soils and drought once established, producing palatable leaf fodder almost year-round.
ایک تیزی سے بڑھنے والی، پروٹین سے بھرپور چارے کی جھاڑی جو اصل میں کینری جزائر کی ہے اور آسٹریلوی بش میں وسیع پیمانے پر پائی جاتی ہے۔ ٹگاسسٹے خشک سالی اور کمزور، ریتیلی زمین برداشت کرتی ہے اور تقریباً سال بھر چارہ دیتی ہے۔
Propagated from seed. Soak seed in hot (80–90°C) water for 30–60 seconds then leave to cool 24 hours to break the hard seed coat before sowing. Cuttings are possible but far less reliable — seed is the standard commercial method.
بیج سے تیار کیا جاتا ہے۔ بونے سے پہلے بیج کو گرم پانی میں 30 سے 60 سیکنڈ کے لیے بھگو کر 24 گھنٹے ٹھنڈا ہونے دیں۔
Block planting: approx. 1,200–1,600 plants/acre at 1.5×2m spacing. Hedge-row (cut-and-carry): approx. 3,000–4,000 plants/acre at 2m row spacing, 0.5–1m within-row.
بلاک کاشت: تقریباً 1,200 سے 1,600 پودے فی ایکڑ۔ ہیج قطار: تقریباً 3,000 سے 4,000 پودے فی ایکڑ۔
An established acre of hedge-row Lucerne Tree can supplement roughly 10–15 goats or sheep, or 3–4 buffalo/cattle, for part of their daily browse through most of the year. Figures are general estimates — actual carrying capacity depends on stocking rate, cutting frequency and other feed available.
ایک ایکڑ ہیج قطار تقریباً 10 سے 15 بکریوں یا بھیڑوں، یا 3 سے 4 بھینسوں/گائے کے لیے جزوی چارہ فراہم کر سکتا ہے۔ یہ عمومی تخمینہ ہے۔
First light cutting/grazing possible at 12–18 months; full fodder production from year 2–3 onward. Plants can remain productive for 15+ years with regular cutting.
پہلی ہلکی کٹائی 12 سے 18 ماہ میں ممکن ہے؛ مکمل پیداوار سال 2 سے 3 کے بعد۔
From sowing the seed through to when the plant starts producing, here's what to expect at each stage.بیج بونے سے لے کر پیداوار شروع ہونے تک، ہر مرحلے میں کیا توقع رکھیں۔
Hot-water soak (80–90°C) for 30–60 seconds, cool 24 hours, then sow 1–2cm deep into nursery trays or prepared beds.
گرم پانی میں 30 سے 60 سیکنڈ بھگوئیں، 24 گھنٹے ٹھنڈا ہونے دیں، پھر 1 سے 2 سینٹی میٹر گہرائی میں بوئیں۔
Germinates in 7–14 days under warm conditions. Nursery growing period is 8–12 weeks before seedlings reach transplant size (20–30cm).
گرم موسم میں 7 سے 14 دن میں اگتا ہے۔ نرسری میں 8 سے 12 ہفتے تک پرورش کریں۔
Transplant in early Spring or Autumn once seedlings are 20–30cm tall and hardened off. Water in well at transplanting; avoid transplant during peak summer heat.
جب پودے 20 سے 30 سینٹی میٹر اونچے ہو جائیں تو بہار یا خزاں میں منتقل کریں۔
Prefers sandy, well-drained soil; tolerates poor and rocky ground but not waterlogging. Needs regular light watering for the first 2–3 months, then only occasional deep watering during long dry spells once established.
ریتیلی، اچھی نکاسی والی زمین پسند کرتا ہے۔ ابتدائی 2 سے 3 ماہ باقاعدہ پانی کی ضرورت ہے۔
Light application of farmyard manure or DAP at planting is beneficial but not essential — as a legume, Lucerne Tree fixes its own nitrogen once established. Avoid heavy nitrogen fertilizer.
بوقت کاشت ہلکی مقدار میں گوبر کھاد یا ڈی اے پی مفید ہے لیکن ضروری نہیں۔
Suited to both cut-and-carry (cut branches, carry to livestock) and direct grazing/browsing once established. Cut back hard to 0.5–1m every 2–3 months for repeat regrowth; avoid over-grazing young plants in the first year.
کٹائی کر کے مویشیوں تک لے جایا جا سکتا ہے یا براہ راست چرایا جا سکتا ہے۔ ہر 2 سے 3 ماہ بعد سخت کٹائی کریں۔
Begins flowering and setting seed from around 18–24 months; reliable seed yield from year 3 onward.
18 سے 24 ماہ میں پھول اور بیج بننا شروع ہوتا ہے۔
Tagasaste, also called Tree Lucerne, is a perennial high-protein fodder shrub used for livestock feed and dryland farming.
The scientific name of Lucerne Tree is Chamaecytisus palmensis.
Lucerne Tree is a perennial species.
Yes — Lucerne Tree is suited to Pakistan's drier and, where relevant, saline growing conditions. See the regional suitability table on this page for specifics.
Lucerne Tree is rated Suitable for: Northern Pakistan, KP (Khyber Pakhtunkhwa), AJK / Gilgit-Baltistan. Other zones may be Conditional or Not Recommended — see the full regional suitability table on this page.
Based on its soil profile (Sandy, well-drained; tolerates poor and rocky soil), sandy soil is generally suitable.
Salinity tolerance is rated Low. It is not a first choice for genuinely saline ground — consider a higher-salinity-tolerance species instead.
Only moderately salt-tolerant — not a first choice for highly saline soil or brackish irrigation water; best on non-saline, well-drained ground.
