Black Palm
LATIN: BORASSUS FLABELLIFER ORIGIN: SOUTHEAST ASIA
Black Palm is an exotic wood that is hard and dense, with stringy type grain. Somewhat difficult to machine, needs sharp tools, distinctive end grain.
Borassus flabellifer is a robust tree and can live more than 100 years and reach a height of 30 metres (98 ft), with a canopy of green-bluish leaves with several dozen fronds spreading 3 m (9.8 ft) across. The very large trunk resembles that of the coconut tree and is ringed with leaf scars. Young palmyra palms grow slowly in the beginning but then grow faster with age.
