Product Sources
Although Gumbo-limbo is abundant within its growth range it is not considered a major timber in international commerce. It is of little importance in the building trade because of its low strength and poor weathering qualities. It is sometimes found on the U.S. market in the form of low grade plywood from Mexico.
