Leucaena leucocephala

Leucaena Usage Information

In Terrariums: Curled bark segments and dried fruit give a really pretty forest floor appearance.

In Vivariums: The curled bark is quite suitable in vivaria for smaller shy animals. It creates a good hiding place for many species. The fruit are good as a leaf litter, though note there will be seeds that may sprout.

In Aquariums: The leaf is used commercially as a fish food. The fruit, seeds and bark we have not tested.

General Appearance: Bark is relatively thin and it slightly curls and curves. Greyish in color. Fruit are a dark brown, thin and papery with bumps where the seeds are. Leaves are quite small and fine, and make an almost large dust appearance.

Long Term: Leaves are either used in feed or as a leaf litter. In vivaria they decompose quite quickly. Bark is not exceptionally thick nor hard and will probably last up to 5 years in wet vivaria. Fruits last about 1 year or so in moist environments.

Other: For decorative arts & crafts related purchases, please let us know and we can quote the price for other forms of the products. For example, sun dried, machine dried, pressed (flat), whole dried for arrangements etc. Depending on production method, prices will vary as to the needs of the order.

If you are waning larger quantities of leaf for fish food formulation, please contact us. We have quite a lot of this tree on our land that we constantly cut for composting and we can accommodate large orders of any part of this tree. Wood, seed, leaf etc. We can supply by the container year round.
