Brazilian Cherry, also commonly known as Jatoba, has become the
most popular of the exotic woods used today for wood flooring.
Brazilian Cherry clearly lends an exotic touch to any home in which
it is installed. In fact, Brazilian Cherry is not only very
beautiful and exotic in appearance, but it typically costs no more
than a high quality oak floor. Although, it has a perceived value
of being much more expensive than it is because it comes from far
away places and it is also so incredibly hard and durable.
Brazilian Cherry is so well suited for use as a floor and it
impresses people with its extreme density. Brazilian Cherry ranks
at 2820 on the Janka hardness scale, as opposed to Northern Red Oak,
which ranks at 1290. The simple translation of this means that
Brazilian Cherry is more than twice as hard as our native Oak trees
and therefore, it will way outperform an oak wood floor when used in
the same environment. Brazilian Cherry is available in both Solid
Wood and as Engineered Wood flooring. Brazilian Cherry is also
available in both factory Pre-finished formats as well as
Un-finished wood flooring. Brazilian Cherry is available in many
different thickness and widths. Commonly available thickness can
range from 5/16” thick to 3/4” thick and also include options for
3/8” thick, ½” thick, 9/16” thick, and 5/8” thick. Widths that are
readily available can range from 2.25” up to 9” wide.
Brazilian Cherry trees are native to many parts of South America
as well as Central America and the Caribbean. The wood from the
trees is commonly used for not only flooring but for furniture and
decorative purposes as well. Although Jatoba is often referred to
as Brazilian Cherry or South American Cherry, it is not a cherry
tree and it is in no way, botanically or otherwise related to the
Black Cherry trees that are native to North America. Brazilian
Cherry trees will frequently grow to more than 120 feet in height,
with a trunk width exceeding 6 feet in diameter. Jatoba trees are
known by the natives for their red flowers, bright green leaves and
they do produce an edible brownish fruit. The wood from the trees
is naturally of a somewhat red-orange or salmon and brown tones and
when exposed to light, it will deepen two or three shades in its own
natural hue. South American natives often use the bark of the
Brazilian Cherry tree to make teas, as well as other medicinal
treatments used to cure things like bronchitis, foot fungus, chronic
fatigue, sore eyes, hepatitis, and to expel intestinal worms.
