Abstract
The results of an investigation are shown, developed during the period 2003-2004, in two forest species of multiple use: Samanea saman (Jacq.) Merril and Enterolobium cyclocarpum (Jacq.) Griss, these species are very distributed in the grasses areas of the country, especially S. saman. The works were developed in the area of Corralillo, municipality Guisa, Granma province, with the objective of determining the production of fruits with the use of collecting boxes, placed under the trees in four quadrants. The trees of S. saman with age among of 21 to 25 year, reached a yield of 1.5 t/ha/years, while mature trees of E. cyclocarpum with 25 years, they add a production of 0.9 t/ha/years., both species offer their fruits in the most critical months in the dry period (February-April), when the natural grasses are scarce. In spite of this in the central region of Cuba, trees of Samanea saman and Enterolobium cyclocarpum with more than 20 years of age, reached a production of 0.63 and 0.86 t/ha/years respectively.
