 Jatobá (Hymenaea courbaril), is a tree common to the Caribbean, Central, and South America and Brazil. It is a hardwood that is used for furniture, flooring and decorative purposes. Jatoba is a very hard wood measuring 5.6 on the Brinell scale or 2350 lbf on the Janka scale, approximate measurements of hardness hence very good for long lasting hardwood floors. For comparison, Douglas Fir measures 660 lbf, White Oak 1360 lbf, and Brazilian Walnut 3800 lbf on the Janka scale. Jatoba features a tan/salmon color with black accent stripes that over time turns to a deep rich red color and will look great as laminate or hardwood flooring.
