Silver Oak (Grevillea Robusta) trees are used for shade. The tree branches protect the coffee plants from direct sun and provide shelter for migratory birds, insects and mammals. At the same time, the biomass contributes to the fertility of the land.
In addition to silver oak, there are hundreds of other trees like Teak, Jack, Rosewood, Champak, Orange, Ficus, Avocado, Cashew, Honne, Matthi, etc. in the coffee plantations of Kodagu.
