Swietenia

Thought I would start a topic about the Mahogany relatives. Here are some comparative pictures of the three species in the genus. I will try to get a similar shot of the flowers, bark and growth habit and wood, as well as adding some of their cousins that we are growing.  

 

 

 

 

LTR:
Swietenia mahagoni, Swietenia humilis, Swietenia macrophylla.

The first one is the one found in Florida, sometimes called Florida Mahogany or Cuban Mohagany.  It used to be on the FFA Forestry contest.  I rarely see it.  Thank you for sharing.
