Swietenia mahagoni
Native semi-evergreen tree that grows to be 40’-70’ tall. The foliage is dark green, with inconspicuous white and yellow flowers. Plant in full sun to partial shade, with moist, but well-drained sandy soil. Salt-spray resistant once established, with dense, strong wood that is wind-resistant if properly trained. Mahogany is prone to growing multiple leader trunks, which reduces wind-resistance, so prune the tree to promote strength against wind.
