Phoebe, commonly referred to as Phoebe, is a significant angiosperm and wood-producing tree belonging to the Lauraceae family. It is a large evergreen tree that can reach heights of up to 20 meters with a trunk diameter of 2.5 meters at breast height. The tree features a straight trunk and dense crown, making it visually striking and ecologically valuable.

Phoebe is renowned for its high-quality wood, often called "golden nanmu," valued for its durability, fine texture, insect resistance, and pleasant aroma. This wood is widely used in construction, high-end furniture, and artistic manufacturing, holding substantial economic and cultural importance. Its adaptability also makes Phoebe suitable for afforestation projects and ecological landscaping, serving functional and aesthetic purposes.

The species is particularly sought after for its timber, which is a critical resource for multiple industries. Efforts to conserve and sustainably manage Phoebe populations focus on supporting its role as an essential timber species while exploring its potential in fast-growing, barren-tolerant seedling production for broader forestry applications.
