Rose Wood comes from tough, closely-grained, strong, long-lasting, and ornamental trees. It is used for many things, including furniture, panelling, decorative, ordinance, agricultural implements, and more. Rose Wood needs soil that is abundant in humus. Over three to four decades, it slowly developed to a height of 20 metres and a circumference of 200 centimetres.
The Indian subcontinent and southern Iran are the natural habitats of the Indian rose wood tree. It is often known as Sheesham in the regional language. The tree may reach a height of 30 metres and blossom into a fragrant behemoth with a profusion of bright yellow flowers on each stem. This deciduous tree’s rapid growth is valued for its priceless wood.
Features of Rose Wood
- It is often smaller but has a maximum height and diameter of 25 m and 2 to 3 m, respectively. The 15 cm (5.9 in) long, alternating, pinnately complex leaves are leathery.
- Rose wood oil, used in perfume, is extracted from the wood of Aniba rosaeodora, which is not related to the rosewoods used for lumber. Rose wood is also used for bracelets and necklaces.
- Rose wood has a beautifully streaked and grained appearance with black resinous layers and a deep, rosy brown to purplish-brown tint.
- Indian rose wood is most frequently reproduced through seeds and seedlings that naturally grow next to mature trees. You cannot use cuttings for breeding this species successfully. Young trees sprout swiftly when mature seeds are put in a moist germination mix in a warm environment.
