Companion Volume to Padauk: The National Flower of Myanmar. This 547-Page Work Focuses on the Cultivation and Management of Pterocarpus macrocarpus
KANSAS CITY, KS, UNITED STATES, June 11, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Author and horticultural researcher Levi Sap Nei Thang has published Padauk Cultivation and Management, a comprehensive 547-page horticultural and forestry reference work dedicated to the cultivation, establishment, care, management, and utilization of Pterocarpus macrocarpus, commonly known as Padauk.
Developed as a continuation of her previously published book, Padauk: The National Flower of Myanmar, this new volume focuses on the practical and technical aspects of growing and managing the species. While the earlier publication examined Padauk from scientific, historical, cultural, conservation, and economic perspectives, Padauk Cultivation and Management provides detailed guidance on cultivation practices and management techniques.
The 547-page volume covers climate and soil requirements, planting techniques, propagation methods, fertilization, irrigation, pruning, pest and disease management, breeding, utilization, postharvest handling, and value-added applications. Drawing upon scientific literature, forestry resources, horticultural publications, and practical management principles, the book consolidates information that is often dispersed across numerous technical sources.
The book features a foreword and recommendation by Dr. Tin Htut, Deputy Minister of Agriculture of Myanmar, who has supported the publication as a valuable contribution to the documentation and understanding of Pterocarpus macrocarpus.
“Padauk is one of Southeast Asia’s most important multipurpose tree species,” said Levi Sap Nei Thang. “This book was written to provide a practical resource for growers, foresters, researchers, and anyone interested in the successful cultivation and sustainable management of the species.”
The publication is intended for horticulturists, foresters, researchers, students, conservation professionals, landowners, nursery operators, policymakers, and readers interested in tropical forestry and tree cultivation.
Padauk Cultivation and Management serves as a companion volume to Padauk: The National Flower of Myanmar, expanding the author’s ongoing research and documentation of one of Myanmar’s most significant tree species.
