Several value addition products widens the commercial value of this herb. Although fifty percent shade is recommended in the initial levels, as the tree grows it can be reduced. It is better to adopt budding or grafting as there are possibility of plants seedlings to grow into male and female plants, resulting in the production of 50% unproductive male plants. The female trees start fruiting from 6 years old even though peak period is 20 years. Over dose of essential oils of nutmeg is having hallucination effects.
