Bishopwood

Bishopwood fruits are used for wine in the tree’s original habitat, and a red dye can be extracted from the bark. Used in Florida for street landscaping for many years, its planting is now discouraged as it is listed as a Category I invasive by the Florida Exotic Pest Plant Council. It competes with indigenous trees, starving other plant life of water and nutrients. Bishopwood is not readily available in the international marketplace, so its characteristics are unique. It is used for furniture, bent parts, joinery, and cabinetry.

Who cuts salvaged Banyan trees into table slabs? We do of course! The Banyan tree was first brought to Florida by Thomas Edison in the late 1800’s in his quest to invent a way to make synthetic rubber at his estate in Fort Myers. These trees can cover more than an acre in size and yield very crazy shaped slabs. You can even mount a plant box under the holes in the center and have some plants growing in the holes of your coffee table slab. Some folks just hang them on the wall as art. No matter which way you decide to use them they are certainly unique little descendants of Ol’ Thomas!!!
