Mahogany Tree

We start seeing mahogany trees is extreme south Florida usually south of Naples and Miami. I am sure some grow further north but that is where we tend to start seeing them.

Mahogany is a hardwood tree with leaves that have a yellowish tint. I can usually pick out a mahogany by the yellowish color of the leaves. Then I look for the distinctive mahogany nuts to make sure.

Mahogany nut

When I am having trouble identifying a mahogany tree I look for these distinctive nuts. While this one looks white they are actually light green and the size of a tennis ball.

We see manogany nuts used as ornaments for necklasses and I know that they are fed to parrots who love to break into the outer shell for the nut inside.
