Jatoba, also known as Brazilian cherry, is a hardwood tree native to tropical regions of South America, particularly in Brazil. It is renowned for its dense, durable wood, which is often used in flooring, furniture, and cabinetry due to its rich reddish-brown color and resistance to wear. The tree can grow up to 100 feet tall and produces small, fragrant flowers that attract various pollinators. Jatoba wood is not only valued for its beauty but also for its strength, making it a popular choice in both residential and commercial construction projects.
