The Narra tree (Pterocarpus indicus) is the national tree of the Philippines. It typically grows between 25 to 30 meters tall. Its timber is highly valued because it is strong, durable, and resistant to termites, making it ideal for furniture, flooring, and construction. The wood’s reddish-brown color is also prized for its beauty and finish. These qualities make Narra an important economic and cultural resource.
