To bring the local forest back to life, we are introducing cedrela mexicana trees along with native ones. Cedrela trees are naturally resistant to parasites, worms, and wood-boring insects. Harvesting them requires a timeframe of 15 to 20 years. Suitable uses for this wood include moderate construction, decoration, furniture, roofing, doors, window frames, and fencing.
Cedrela mexicana is also used in complex engineering projects like constructing boats, especially racing vessels. These trees have minimal nutrient needs from the soil. Their flowers are a great nectar source for honeybees, and their shade benefits coffee and cocoa plants.
