Why Albizia Falcata?

The tree that grows way too fast.

Albizzia falcata is a favorite specie for plantations in Indonesia. Also known as the fastest growing tree in the world, albizia falcata can grow to 10 meters in 2 years and 30 meters in 10 years.

This magic tree is very unique. It is very easy to kiln dry, with consistent shrinkage during drying. Once dried, it has it’s own unique characteristic that it is termites free. After kiln dry, the weight can be as little as 0.25, therefore as core materials, albizia falcata is very famous for it’s lightweight, strength and stableness.

Albizia Falcata is also known as batai, sengon, alba, albasia and albazia. It has always been the popular core material for blockboards, lumber core, bare core, jumbo coreboards, fingerjointed laminated boards, drawer sets, furnitures, kitchen sets, plywoods and door cores. Hasil Timber has been exporting these core materials to many countries in Asia, Europe, USA, Canada and Australia.

Thanks to it’s fast growth, Indonesian farmers have been benefitting from albizia falcata. They plant these trees anywhere possible even in their backyards and as a result, this action has contributed largely in providing employment in the farming industry, sawmilling industry, trucking industry, wood machine industry, manufacturing industry and the timber industry as a whole.

To ensure the balance in the environment, Hasil Timber is supporting and working together with Rotary Club International in the plantation of one million albizia falcata trees all over Indonesia.
