∙ 10y agoIt is known as the fastest growing tree in the world, albizia falcata can grow to 10 meters in 2 years and 30 meters in 10 years. Albizzia falcata is a favorite specie for plantations in Indonesia.
It is very easy to kiln dry, with consistent shrinkage during drying. Once dried, it is virtually termites free. After kiln dry, the weight can be as little as 0.25, therefore as core materials, albizia falcata is very famous for it's lightweight, strength and stableness. Because of this it is very popular in the timber industry. Used primarily in plywood and furniture. It is considered a Softwood.
It is also considered a weed in some parts of the word because its fast growth can quickly overrun other plant species in an ecological niche.

What is the scientific name of rain tree?
InTrODUCTIOn Rain tree (Samanea saman) is easily recognized by its char- acteristic umbrella-shaped canopy. When grown in the open, the tree usually reaches 15-25 m (50-80 ft) in height with a canopy diameter wider than the tree is tall. Rain tree is most important in the Pacific as a shade tree on small farms, along roads, in parks and pastures. The wood has limited use for carved bowls in local markets; it could be developed more widely as a commercial timber, comparing favorably to black walnut. A multitude of minor uses is documented for rain tree, most of them of purely local sig- nificance, but all could be explored for wider applicability. Rain tree naturalizes freely almost everywhere it has been introduced and is considered an invasive pest in Vanuatu and Fiji. In many other places naturalized rain tree is not considered a problem. DISTrIbUTIOn Native range Extensive cultivation has obscured the native range of rain tree. It is believed to be native in northern South America (Colombia, the Caribbean slope and the Orinoco drainage of Venezuela), and in Central America as far north as El Salvador. It is now widespread from Mexico south to Peru, Bolivia, and Brazil. In these areas, it occurs in low-eleva- tion dry forests and grassland/savannah habitats.

In rare cases it can reach a height of 50 m (160 ft). The crown typically reaches 30 m (100 ft) in diameter. Very large trees may reach 50-60 m (160-195 ft) in diam- eter. Rain trees usually have a short, stout trunk of about 1-2 m (3-6.5 ft) in diameter at breast height (dbh), but the trunk can attain 2-3 m (6.5-10 ft) dbh in exceptional cases. Under dense planting conditions, trees may attain greater height (to 40 m, 130 ft) with a narrower crown diameter than when planted in the open. Form Rain tree has a distinctive, umbrella-shaped crown. The crown is typically broad and domed; the horizontal spread is greater than the height when grown in spacious, open settings. Under plantation conditions, the crown is more vase-shaped. Flowers The tiny flowers (12-25 per head) are massed in pinkish heads 5-6 cm (2-2.4 in) across and about 4 cm (1.6 in) in rAIn Tree? The name rain tree has been attributed to: • The leaflets are light-sensitive and close together on cloudy days (as well as from dusk to dawn), allowing rain to fall through the canopy to the ground below. • The grass is often much greener under a rain tree than the surrounding grass. • A steady drizzle of honeydew is often created by sap-sucking insects. • Nectaries on the leaf petioles excrete sugary juice that sometimes falls from the tree like rain. • During heavy flowering, stamens can drop from the canopy like rain. height. The long, bicolored stamens (white in lower half and reddish above) give the whole inflorescence the ap- pearance of a powder puff or feather duster held slightly above the foliage. Thousands of heads are borne at the same time, covering the tree in pinkish bloom. The central flower in each head is larger, stalkless, has more petals, and is in- capable of forming a fruit; this flower is a nectar-produc- ing organ that attracts pollinators. Usually only one flower per head (rarely two) is pollinated and forms a fruit. Leaves Leaves are alternately arranged along twigs and have a prominent swelling (pulvinus) at the petiole base; stipules are present and threadlike; the leaf blades are twice-even- pinnately compound, arranged in 2-6 pairs of pinnae, each pinna bearing 6-16 diamond-shaped leaflets, shiny green above, dull and finely hairy beneath, 2-4 cm (0.8-1.6 in) long and 1-2 cm (0.4-0.8 in) wide, the apical leaflets larg- est. During dry periods trees are semi-deciduous, losing their leaves for a short period. Where there is a definite dry season, they may remain leafless for a period of weeks but refoliate quickly if there is adequate moisture. This gives the appearance that rain tree is "evergreen" in moister cli- mates. Fruit Mature pods are black-brown, oblong, lumpy, 10-20 cm long (4-8 in), 15-19 mm (0.6-0.8 in) wide, ca. 6 mm (0.25 in) thick, straight or slightly curved, not dehiscing but eventually cracking irregularly, and filled with a sticky, brownish pulp that is sweet and edible.
