General Uses Top
Suggest a correction!Common products:
- Wood (heartwood and sapwood) used as timber for construction, furniture, and tool handles.
- Fuelwood and charcoal for domestic energy.
- Bark fiber processed into rope, cordage, and woven items.
- Tannin‑rich bark used as a natural tanning agent for leather.
- Foliage used as fodder for livestock.
Industrial and craft applications:
- Construction timber for houses, poles, and heavy‑duty furniture.
- Bark fibers twisted into rope and net cordage for marine and agricultural uses.
- Bark tannins extracted and employed in industrial leather tanning.
Colorants and tanning:
- The bark yields hydrolyzable tannins used as a natural tanning agent for hides and skins; no documented use as a dye.
Wood and fiber:
- The species provides a dense hardwood (air‑dry density 0.85–0.90 g cm⁻³) suitable for structural applications.
- Bark fibers have high tensile strength and are used for cordage.
Properties relevant to use:
- Wood high lignin content and dense grain confer durability and resistance to termites.
- Bark rich in hydrolyzable tannins (gallotannins/ellagitannins) provides effective leather tanning.
- Bark fibers exhibit high tensile strength supporting rope applications.
Sustainability and sourcing:
- The species is listed as Least Concern by the IUCN and regenerates naturally in savanna‑woodland habitats.
- It is cultivated in agroforestry systems for timber, fodder, and rope production; harvesting is regulated under national forest management policies.
