Aningeria pierrei is a large deciduous rainforest tree from West and West-Central Africa, grown mainly for its timber (anigre) rather than as a garden or houseplant. It is not practical to cultivate at home; key care is only relevant to a large tropical plantation or arboretum setting.
Aningeria pierrei is a species of plant in the family Sapotaceae. It is a tree native to the tropical forests of west and west-central Africa, from Guinea Bissau to the western Central African Republic. It is commonly known as aningré blanc, and is a source of the timber known as anigre.
Aningeria pierrei is a large, deciduous tree, which grows up to 40 meters tall and with a trunk up to 150 cm in diameter. In Ghana it grows in semi-deciduous rain forest. In Côte d'Ivoire and Cameroon it is most abundant in the transition between semi-deciduous forest and humid evergreen forest.
