Mango
Mango (Mangifera indica) trees, grown primarily for fruit, can develop substantial trunks over time. On Hawaiʻi Island, older or storm-damaged mango trees may be salvaged for their attractively grained wood.
Mango wood features varied colors (ranging from light browns to subtle pinkish hues) and interesting figure. While not traditionally planted as a dedicated timber species, it is often repurposed for furniture or decorative items when large orchard trees are removed or when landscaping specimens outgrow their space. Some local mills accept mango logs, which are then kiln-dried and sold to woodworkers. The market remains opportunistic—mango wood can fetch decent prices for specialty slabs and turning blocks, though consistent commercial harvest is rarely organized.
