What a hardy tree like him

The ‘greenheart’ tree grows in Guiana, South America. The scientific name, Chlorocardium, (chloro means green; cardia means heart). It is the genus family of Lauraceae.

The tree can grow up to 40m high and is one of the densest and hardest woods in the world.

Due to its extreme hardiness, standard tools cannot lay a hand on it. For that reason, it has greater commercial value for construction materials, dock and marine industry. It can also be used as a medicinal cure for reducing fever.
