Jatobá or Guapinol (Hymenaea courbaril), is a tree common to the Caribbean, Central, and South America. It is a hardwood that is used for furniture, flooring and decorative purposes.

Although Jatoba is sometimes referred to as Brazilian or South American Cherry, it is not a cherry tree and it is in no way, botanically or otherwise related to Black Cherry (Prunus serotina), a very common American hardwood. Jatoba is also known as South American Locust, stinking toe (because of the smell of its seed pods), Brazilian copal and various other names.

Jatoba produces an orange, resinous, sticky gum that converts to amber through a chemical process that requires millions of years. Amber of million-year-old Hymenaea trees have provided scientists with many clues to its prehistoric presence on earth as well as to the insects and other plants encased in it. (As shown in the Jurassic Park movies)

Jatoba is a very hard wood measuring 5.6 on the Brinell scale or 2350 lbf on the Janka scale, approximate measurements of hardness. For comparison, Douglas Fir measures 660 lbf, White Oak 1360 lbf, and Brazilian Walnut 3800 lbf on the Janka scale.

Jatoba features a tan/salmon color with black accent stripes that over time turns to a deep rich red color.

FloorLayers™ cares about the environment and takes responsibility by ensuring that all source material is purchased from suppliers who are concerned about the preservation of our natural resources. FloorLayers purchases raw material from suppliers who implement only the highest standards in forestry practices, thus assuring the conservation and replenishment of our forests.

More importantly, our proprietary manufacturing process actually saves trees. The flooring yield from our one-of-a-kind engineering is 4 times greater than a conventional hardwood floor. This means that FloorLayers can produce the same amount of engineered hardwood flooring from one tree where a typical flooring maker would require 4 trees to equal the same square footage. We think of it as preserving our forests—one tree at a time.
