greenheart
Dense South American
Greenheart is a large tropical tree native to South America, prized for its extremely hard, dense, durable wood.
The timber resists marine borers and rot, making it valuable for dock pilings, ship hulls, and underwater construction.
The name refers to the greenish color of the heartwood.
Greenheart pilings can last decades in salt water.
