| Abstract |
Dalbergia melanoxylon produces one of the finest timbers in the world. Known in Tanzania as African ironwood, African ebony, mpingo, poyi or mugembe, round logs of this species fetch up to US$18,000/cubic meter. Yet the trees are seldom planted and little is known about their silviculture.
