Species Description: Brazilian Cherry flooring, also known as Jatoba, is the most popular exotic hardwood flooring imported into the US. Renowned for its combination of superior performance and beauty, Brazilian Cherry's reddish-brown heartwood is streaked with dark black striping, providing amazing contrast and depth. This exotic wood is very decoratively versatile, suiting a variety of darker and lighter color schemes due to its distinctive coloring. Brazilian Cherry is also very hard and durable with a Janka hardness rating of 2350, almost twice as hard as Red Oak. Brazilian Cherry looks fantastic when contrasted with dark colored or black furniture, countertops and cabinets. The combination of exotic beauty and strength make Jatoba hardwood a great choice for any home or business.
