Teak is a large deciduous tree up to 40 m (131 ft) tall with grey to greyish-brown branches, known for its high quality wood. Its leaves are ovate-elliptic to ovate, 15-45 cm (5.9-17.7 in) long by 8-23 cm (3.1-9.1 in) wide, and are held on robust petioles which are 2-4 cm (0.8-1.6 in) long. Leaf margins are entire.[6]

Fragrant white flowers are borne on 25-40 cm (10-16 in) long by 30 cm (12 in) wide panicles from June to August. The corolla tube is 2.5-3 mm long with 2 mm wide obtuse lobes. Tectona grandis sets fruit from September to December; fruits are globose and 1.2-1.8 cm in diameter.[6] Flowers are weakly protandrous in that the anthers precede the stigma in maturity and pollen is shed within a few hours of the flower opening.[7] The flowers are primarily entomophilous (insect pollinated), but can occasionally be anemophilous (wind pollinated).[8] A 1996 study found that in its native range in Thailand, the major pollinator were species in the bee genus Ceratina.[7]
Wood[edit]
Heartwood is yellowish. It darkens as it ages. Sometimes there are dark patches on it. There is a leather-like scent in newly cut wood.[9]
Sapwood is whitish to pale yellowish brown. It can easily separate from heartwood.[citation needed]
Wood texture is hard and ring porous.
Density varies according to moisture content: at 15% moisture content it is 660 kg/m3.[10] sagwan
