Latin: Albizia saman Origin: Central and South America
Monkeypod has quickly become one of the best selling species for live edge slabs. It is also referred to as Acacia or Raintree. It grows all over the world from Southeast Asia and Hawaii to Central and South America. Being a tropical species it tends to grow very large and yields large slabs.
