Can the wood of fruit and industrial tree plantation species be used for making wine barrels?
A recent study at FPRDI indicates so. Ms. Simplicia B. Katigbak, Project Leader, said: “Our research team tested whether or not three industrial tree plantation species and two fruit tree species are suitable for making wooden barrels for aging fruit wine.
The plantation trees were big-leafed mahogany (Swietenia macrophylla), river red gum (Eucalyptus camaldulensis), and mangium (Acacia mangium), while the native trees were santol (Sandoricum koetjape) ans Indian mango (Mangifera indica).
