Distribution overview: Native to tropical moist forest from India, Burma, and Sri Lanka to southern China, Gmelina is widely introduced, e.g. in Brazil, Gambia, Honduras, Ivory Coast, Malaysia, Malawi, Nigeria, Panama, Philippines, and Sierra Leone. Estimated to range from Tropical Very Dry to Wet through Subtropical Very Dry to Wet Forest Life Zones, gmelina is reported or estimated to tolerate annual precipitation of 7 to 45 dm, annual temperature of 20 to 26￿C, and pH of 6 to 8. It can tolerate a 6￿7-month dry season. Grows on many soils, acidic laterites to calcareous loams, doing poorly on thin or poor soils with hardpan, dry sands, or heavily leached acidic soils, well-drained basic alluviums.

Common uses: Agricultural implements, Boat building (general), Boat building: decking, Boat building: framing, Boxes and crates, Cabinetmaking, Cooperages, Drawing boards, Fuelwood, Furniture, Joinery, Light construction, Matches, Millwork, Mine timbers, Musical instruments, Paneling, Particleboard, Plywood corestock, Plywood, Poles, Posts, Pulp/Paper products, Sporting Goods, Toys, Veneer

Tree size: Trunk diameter is 100-150 cm
