It is also an excellent choice for people focused on quality, as it is an extremely durable and weatherproof hardwood decking material.”

From best part of the Swietenia Macrophylla tree

Fiji Mahogany decking is manufactured from Swietenia Macrophylla trees, which is the most premium tropical hardwood lumber. Swietenia Macrophylla, a member of the Meliaceae family, was discovered in South America more than 5 centuries ago and has been used as a building material for the past century until it was harvested to the point of imminent extinction.

Foreseeing a dire future shortage of Swietenia Macrophylla trees, while being great appreciators of the wood, the British ordered massive amounts of  Swietenia Macrophylla seeds to be taken from Honduras and planted on the island of Fiji, across the South Pacific Ocean, which they controlled. Through this effort, undertaken just after World War II, Genuine Mahogany trees were cultivated on Fiji.
