Looking for a durable, versatile wood for your next project? Consider Cordia alliodora, also known as Spanish elm, Ecuador laurel, cypre, or salmwood. This flowering tree is native to the American tropics and can reach up to 35 m in height. Its wood, known as freijo or jennywood, is sought after for boat decking, furniture, cabinetry, and luthier work, and is sometimes used as a substitute for mahogany or teak. However, outside its natural range, Cordia alliodora has been identified as an invasive species that can disrupt native ecosystems. Choose Cordia alliodora for a reliable and attractive wood option, and take care to use it responsibly.
