Khaya anthotheca
Khaya anthotheca
The Khaya anthotheca thrives in warm areas, especially in a large park or garden. It can grow up to 64 metres in height and has highly valuable timbre, which has been used in building boats and floor panelling. In the Ruvuma region of Tanzania, this tree is frequently used for furniture. It grows close to rivers and enjoys a heavy rainfall. The Khaya anthotheca is a great shade tree, providing protection for the rest of the garden.
