| description | <p><em>Cordia alliodora</em> (R. & P.) Oken, is an important neotropical tree, which combines timber of high quality and value with fast growth on good quality soils. The wood of <em>C. alliodora</em> is of great importance throughout its natural range, both for local use by fanners and as a commercial timber in national markets. The species is a prolific seeder, regenerates easily, and is often found, following forest clearance, as pure stands of varying densities. Fanners favour natural regeneration of <em>C. alliodora</em> within agroforestry systems, for which its light crown and selfpruning habit make it particularly suited, allowing some timber production without excessive competition with the crops (peck and Bishop, 1992~ Somarriba and Beer. 1987)...</p> |
