Re: Clarinet Buying Woes

I appreciate the Wikipedia reference to claims of growing African Blackwood in Naples Florida but noticed on Wikipedia that the claim was unsourced.

I tried to find cooberating evidence on the internet and could not.

If anyone knows more about this I would be interested.

I'm a bit skeptical. I suspect that Naples gets more rain than the areas in Africa in which this tree grows and thrives. Still more, if the tree takes 70 years to grow to its full height, even if it grows faster (or larger) in Florida, wouldn't one only know that fact about its larger US size if trees were planted, say, 50 or so years ago there?

And if such trees were even recently planted and are growing with success, wouldn't that mean it might take decades before the wood could even be harvested for instrument creation?

Mr./Ms. derf5585, this is nothing negative towards you, but rather the legitimacy of the Wikipedia article you site.
