The tree's best development is on ridges or slopes and high riverbanks. Jatoba trees may grow to a height of 130 ft with trunk diameters of 5 to 6 ft; usually less than 100 ft high with diameters of 2 to 4 ft. Boles are well formed, often clear for 40 to 80 ft, and basally swollen or buttressed in large trees.
Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) is an enzyme present in all human tissues throughout the body. The bulk of it, however, is found in the liver, where most of it is produced. A blood test for ALP can reveal different conditions when the enzyme is either higher or lower than the normal range.
