Baikiaea plurijuga, known as Zambesi redwood, is a species of Afrotropical tree from the legume family, the Fabaceae from southern Africa.
The wood of Baikiaea plurijuga forms a dense hardwood which makes it a difficult wood to work, but it is valued for its termite resistance and resistance to rot, is used for railway sleepers, in construction and for furniture making. Extensive teak forests in some parts of its range (such as Sesheke District, Zambia) have been over-exploited by the commercial timber industry.
