Apitong/Keruing heartwood varies from light to dark red brown, or brown to dark brown, sometimes with a purple tint. Grown throughout Southeast Asia, this species has a rather homogenous straight or shallowly interlocked grain pattern, and low to moderate luster. It’s known to be both durable and flexible, making it perfect for the transportation industry as trailer flooring.
