Distributed in: Philippines (Oceania and S.E. Asia)

Distribution overview: Native to tropical Asia and Australia, now widely cultivated in the tropics. Ranges from Tropical Very Dry through Tropical Moist Forest Life Zones, tall albizia is reported to tolerate annual precipitation of 8.8 to 29 dm (mean of 25 cases = 16.8) and annual temperature of 24.7 to 26.3￿C (mean of 12 cases 25.3).The native range of A. procera is South and Southeast Asia between latitudes 30 degrees N to 15 degrees S. The tree occurs naturally in India, Nepal, Bangladesh, the Andaman Islands, Burma, southern China, Laos, Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam, Malaysia, the Philippines, Indonesia, Papua New Guinea, Melanesia and northern Australia. It is naturalized in the Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico.

Common uses: Beams, Boat building, Bridge construction, Building materials, Cabinetmaking, Carvings, Crossties, Furniture , Furniture components, Interior construction, Interior trim, Joinery, Joists, Poles, Posts, Rafters, Railroad ties

Product sources: The moderately priced timber is available in adequate quantities for commercial consumption. Indications of increasing interest in the timbers of Lebbek and other Albizias may actually increase supplies that are currently only adequate. More popular in Europe than in the United States.

Environment profile: Vulnerable in parts of its natural habitat

Tree size: Tree height is 30-40 m

Cutting Resistance: Moderate to saw

Gluing: Moderate gluing properties

Planing: Fairly Easy to Very Easy

Resistance to Impregnation: Sapwood is permeable

Response to hand tools: Responds well to hand tools


Polishing: Good;
