A large tropical tree from Central and South America, known for its hard, fragrant wood used in construction and its sweet, edible fruits.
From a Tupi or Arawakan word for the tree, entering English through European exploration of the Americas. Also known as the 'locust tree' in some regions.
Courbaril produces sweet, melon-like fruits that Indigenous peoples and jungle animals love eating—the wood is so hard it's sometimes harder than steel!
