Present at the Atlantic Forest, from the brazilian State of Ceará until Rio Grande do Sul State, Saguaraji reaches up to 20 meters (65 feet). Its fruits ripen from December to February, and its flowers are very small. The Saguaraji wood is considered to be a resistant one.
The Saguaraji leaves have brilliant texture and round shapes. On their surfaces, grooves create internal elongated areas, which provide them with a charming beauty.
