True Mahogany, another soon-no-more?!

Cuban mahogany, the “original” mahogany introduced to Europe five centuries ago, before it was almost extinct in the wild (wherever that is; since it has been introduced to many areas it is now difficult to know where it is natural). The remaining populations are now of poor quality, through “genetic erosion”, that is after selection for the best plants for felling. It is listed as Endangered by IUCN.
