Teak

Teak Treepedia

Teak or Tectona grandis which in Indonesia well-known as pohon jati is a slow-growing tree, taking 25 to 50 years to reach its maturity. However, mature teak trees are valuable for their carbon sequestration and water conservation abilities. While they are relatively drought-tolerant and thrive well in dry, water-scarce areas, they still require adequate moisture, especially during their early growth stages.
