Characteristics of Teak fruits
The teak flower goes through an incredible transformation after being pollinated. In just 50 days, it matures into a small fruit that changes color and shape as it grows. By January, mature or dry teak fruit will fall to the ground, and wait for the first rainstorms of mid-April to rejuvenate. This is when the fruit expands and becomes round, covered in a thin brown blister-like shell, with a solid appearance and brown hair. Inside, there are two tough and elastic layers that encase a hollow core, much like the coconut shell. It isn’t until the rainy season arrives that these fruits or seeds break out and continue to grow into beautiful, precious seedlings.
