What is Monkey Pod Wood?

Also known locally as Acacia wood or the RainTree, Monkey Pod wood is thought to be named after the monkeys that used to gather below its canopy and eat the seed pods of the tree. The tree is fast growing, about 1.5m a year up to about 24m tall and has a canopy which normally reaches 30m but can grow as large as 60m. Because the Monkey Pod tree grows so quickly it makes it a very sustainable hardwood and is perfect for furniture manufacturers. The straight grain and coarse texture allows it to be relatively easily carved into interesting shapes. The trees were originally planted to offer shade for crops from the hot tropical sun.
