We currently have some very high quality Trinidad teak lumber available for purchase. This lumber was harvested from carefully managed state-owned teak plantations on the Caribbean island of Trinidad – The conditions across much of Trinidad are very similar to the conditions across teak’s native range in SE Asia. This makes the area ideal for teak cultivation.
With teak seeds having been brought from Burma in 1898, and widespread cultivation underway by the 1920’s, these plantations are well established, and provide some of the highest quality plantation grown teak available anywhere in the world. The age of trees felled in Trinidad is between 40 and 80 years, easily doubling the age or even quadrupling the age of typical plantation grown specimens.
