- Planted as an ornamental and for coastal protection as a windbreak and living fence. It has edible seeds. The wood is highly prized in the Solomon Islands, Papua New Guinea and other islands in the Pacific Ocean, providing a significant source of income locally. However, it is not traded in other parts of its extensive range, such as Africa. The inner bark is used to make baskets, dance skirts, hats and fans. Other uses of the species include traditional medicines and dyes. [1]
