Tienaavat

Tienaavat, also known as the "Tienava" or "Tienava" trees, are a species of deciduous trees native to the tropical regions of South America, particularly in Brazil. They are valued for their hardwood, which is used in the production of furniture, flooring, and other wood products. The Tienava tree is known for its straight, tall trunk and its distinctive, glossy, dark green leaves that turn a vibrant red in the fall.

The scientific name for the Tienava tree is Swietenia macrophylla, and it belongs to the family of Meliaceae. The tree can grow up to 40 meters tall and has a lifespan of around 100 years. It is a fast-growing species, reaching maturity within 15-20 years. The wood of the Tienava tree is highly prized for its durability, strength, and resistance to water and rot. It is also known for its attractive grain pattern and beautiful color, which ranges from a light brown to a deep reddish-brown.

The Tienava tree is an important resource for the local communities in the Amazon rainforest, where it is often used for construction, tool-making, and fuel. However, due to its high demand in the furniture industry, the Tienava tree is also a target for illegal logging. Conservation efforts are underway to protect the remaining Tienava forests and ensure the sustainable harvesting of this valuable resource.
