The tree crops planted in Nigeria are Gmelina arborea, teak, opepe, and white afara. |
|
The parenchyma in this species is much less visible than in Afara but otherwise they are very similar in structure. |
|
Afara splits very readily and takes glue, stain and polish well. |
|
Afara is the common Nigerian name and a British Standard name for the commercial timber. |
