Tectona Grandis

Tectona Grandis, commonly known as Teak, is a large deciduous tree native to South and Southeast Asia, and is widely cultivated in tropical regions. Teak is highly valued for its durability, water resistance, and natural oils that make it resistant to pests and decay. It is commonly used in shipbuilding, particularly for decking, rails, and planking, due to its strength and ability to withstand harsh marine environments. Teak is also used in the construction of furniture, flooring, and outdoor structures. The demand for teak has led to overharvesting and illegal logging, making it a threatened species in some areas.
