Cordia trichotoma, known as louro pardo, is a large deciduous timber tree of seasonally dry and subtropical forests in South America, grown mainly for its valuable wood rather than as a garden plant. It is hard to propagate from seed, so it is rarely grown outside its native range.
Cordia trichotoma, or louro pardo, is a species of a medium-sized deciduous tree that belongs to the family Cordiaceae. It is a perennial species native to humid tropical and subtropical forests in Brazil, Bolivia, Argentina and others.
Cordia trichotoma is a pioneer species, primarily used and sold for high caliber furniture across the world because of its great wood quality and trunk form. The tailing business mostly led by the Brazilian makes the deciduous tree hard to come by, due to the difficulty of its seed propagation. Many of its natural resources are being threatened by environmental and human conditions.
