Property: SOLD - 25 year old teak - plantation on 10,000 square meters - North Pacific, Costa Rica

27 year old teak - plantation, 10,000 sqm 

  

Teak-land offer two ways returns. 

First, the country can be used as a real estate investment. With good layers can grow the value of the property over the years. Secondly, the teak wood is harvested after 15 years be increased, but disproportionately with age its value. Teak, with its global and stable market, doubt the "king of hardwoods. Together with the advantages of a private Use, the ability to build and contribute to a sustainable and social project, this Investment at a very attractive offer. 

  

Location: 

The project site was chosen for two reasons: first, because of the close proximity to the northern Pacific coast of Costa Rica and secondly because of the natural resources. In only 4 km 

Distance from the property you are at sea, 10 km you reach the village open to the Samara and 15 km Nosara. The pressure on land prices in this region causes a Inflation and a rising appreciation. 

                                    

Teak - tree 

The name is derived from Tectona through the Portuguese teca Malayalam tekka = = teak teak. At the same time the name is inspired by Greek τ?κτων = tekton to Zimmermann. The epithet is Latin grandis for large. The German name is derived from the English Teak also from Malayalam. 

Habitus [Edit] 

The teak tree is a large tufted tree growth usually reaches heights from 25 to 35 meters, rarely more than 40 meters. The strains are usually cylindrical, but may also have an irregular cross-section and at the age buttress roots. Form Especially straight stems trees are found in Thailand and Myanmar. The crown is usually very high, useful knot-free stem lengths from 20 to 25 meters to a diameter at breast height of 100 centimeters be achieved. The crown is strongly shade-giving. The root system is a superficial, horizontal spreading out heart root system. 

Bark and wood [Edit] 

The bark is gray to gray-brown and usually a thick and 1.5 centimeters. It is fissured, rather soft and flips a light wooden splint has ab.Das 2:00 to 3:00 centimeters thick. The heartwood has a 

yellow to dark brown color. By dark-olive-brown to black stripes, the wood is striped (black stripe teak). This color is from different concentrations of phytochemicals, including Dehydrotectol and Tectochinon. These strips connect most particularly with teak Burmese origin. Also, the silicon content of the Wood depends on the area of origin. 

The trunk cross-section has made clear growth layers, which are caused by seasonal tropical climate. It can occur within a year, several growth spurts. 

The wood is usually straight grained. Interlocked grain occurs only rarely. The cellulose content is about 43 percent, 30-39 percent lignin. In the parenchyma of the outer 

Heartwood teak rubber save up to five percent by weight. This exceptionally high rubber content requires the sticky-oily texture and dull surface of the wood, further high abrasion resistance, 

the acid resistance and the strong water repellency of Holzes.Das heartwood is very durable. The causes are the secondary plant compounds Tectol which acts fungicidal, and Tectochinon, which causes resistance to insects. The high silicon content contributes to the resistance against insects (especially against termites) and lithophagous molluscs.
