Botanical name: Swietenia macrophylla Family: Meliaceae (Neem family)
Big-Leaf Mahogany is a large deciduous tree, growing up to 45-60 m tall and
80 cm trunk diameter. The trunk is straight and cylindrical, slightly
grooved, with well-developed spurs. The open, rounded crown has thick,
rising branches, and thick, dense foliage. The leaves are usually
paripinnate, sometimes imparipinnate, 12-45 cm long, and made up of 3-6
pairs of ovate or ovate-lanceshaped leaflets. The leaflets are asymmetric,
5-12 cm long, and 2-5 cm wide, with pointed or long pointed tip. The tree
prefers rich, deep, and well-drained soils, with moisture available most
of the year. Whether the tree is deciduous or evergreen depends on water
availability. Big-Leaf Mahogany is native to Southern Mexico to Peru and
Brazil.
