Kra Nhoung, despite being a well known hardwood tree, Kra Nhoung trees are related to leguminous plant species which is the same as the  pea family.

Kra Nhoung can grow up to 15 -20 meters tall with a wide and often twisted tree trunk. Its leaves are alternately placed , and normally have 7 to 9 egg shaped leaves. The  tree’s flowers are white, fragrant and have a similar look  to a pea flower. The fruits from the trees  are thin, flat, delicate pods containing 1-3 seeds.

Kra Nhoung trees are  known as rosewood, a very expensive type of timber species with most famous and lovely  red sapwood that grows darker with age and produces a highly durable wood supply highly sought after.

Kra Nhoung trees have become Cambodia’s most valuable tree species used by the local market to make  agricultural tools. It is more sought after as an export timber  more than often illegally  removed from the jungles and forests. Because of its popularity it has become harvested and an endangered species threatened throughout Cambodia and so gaining focus with conservationists to focus their efforts.

In the past the use of Kra Nhoung lumber  was once restricted for the use of the royal family only.

Kra Nhoung trees have an extra special gift to give its  flowers, providing much required pollen and  nectar for many different insect species in the jungles and forests. Just like all  other leguminous species, Kra Nhoung forms a key symbiotic relationship with soil bacteria which allows it to fix atmospheric nitrogen into a usable form for plants, thus improving soil fertility.
