<p>[QUOTE="komokwa, post: 92095, member: 301"]The first tree produces the most commonly used wood for carvings in Bali. It is known by the locals as the <b>Albesia</b> or "<b>Belalu</b>." (Albizia Falcata) It is a white, soft wood. There are numerous reasons why it is used so frequently.It is native to Indonesia. As such, it grows considerably well to a staggering 130 feet tall. Now that isn't anything too special. Some redwoods have been found that are 380 feet tall, but when you consider how fast the Albesia grows, it becomes quite evident why it is the favored species in plantations in Indonesia. It can grow 3o feet high in just 2 years. That is astronomical! It holds the official title as "the fastest growing tree in the world." Because it is such a fast grower, Indonesian farmers have been able to make a living off of this tree alone, planting them anywhere they can.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
