The tree produces a white, translucent resin known as "Dammar." This resin is essential in the production of:
As a gymnosperm, it produces large, woody seed cones that disintegrate at maturity to release winged seeds. 🏗️ Primary Uses & Economic Importance
It can reach heights of up to 60 meters, featuring a straight, cylindrical trunk and a broad, dense crown.
The wood is light, strong, and easy to work with, making it a preferred material for boat building, light construction, and interior joinery.
Over-harvesting for resin and timber has put pressure on natural populations. Modern management often involves integrating indigenous knowledge to ensure sustainable harvesting and climate change adaptation.
