how long does teak take to grow
It depends on the tree. Douglas fir, the most widely-harvested tree for lumber in the U.S., takes 12-15 years to grow to maturity. Bamboo, on the other hand, matures in only 5-7 years. Many more expensive woods come from very old-wood forests, such as teak which takes 120 years to reach maturity. The faster the tree grows, the more wood can be harvested, so it is more likely that woods like bamboo are harvested sustainably. Click here to cancel reply.
