Swietenia macrophylla | Big-Leaf Mahogany | 10 Seeds

Swietenia macrophylla, commonly known as the Big-leaf mahogany or simply mahogany, is a magnificent and valuable tropical hardwood tree native to Central and South America. This large, deciduous tree can reach towering heights of up to 75 meters, boasting a straight trunk with a dense, rounded canopy of pinnately compound leaves. The dark green, glossy foliage is complemented by clusters of small, pale pink to purplish flowers that grow in panicles. These blossoms give rise to large, hard-shelled, brown fruit capsules containing winged seeds. Mahogany wood is highly regarded for its rich reddish-brown color, exceptional durability, and natural resistance to pests and decay, making it a prized material for furniture, cabinetry, and fine woodworking. This majestic tree not only plays a crucial role in the timber industry but also contributes to the biodiversity of tropical forests, emphasizing its ecological and economic importance.  Zones 10-11 Germination To germinate Swietenia macroph
