Growing Mahogany... In its natural habitat, a Mahogany tree grows relatively fast much like most tropical trees - about 3 to 4 feet per year. Where Mahogany competes with other plants it can grow even faster. Mahogany is a dominant first story tree and as such does not grow well in shade.

Mahogany Seed.. Mahogany tree seed can be sourced directly from the country of origin. To germinate, Mahogany seed is usually soaked for overnight for at least 12 hours before planting. A good rule of thumb is to plant 2 or 3 seeds together to ensure you get at least one tree to grow.
