By TIM WANYONYI More by this AuthorBrachylaena huillensis (mahogany) is native to Angola, Kenya, Mozambique, South Africa, Tanzania, Uganda and Zimbabwe. Mahogany was once dominant in Karura forest but it is commercially extinct today. That Karura forest is hardly a kilometre from the Kenya Forestry Service headquarters points to the power and influence of the loggers. However, if the massive felling of trees such as mahogany is not checked, it will lead to a major ecological disaster. PropagationMahogany is normally propagated by seed, which cost Sh5,000 a kilogramme at the Kenya Forestry Research Institute.
