The tree is found in rain forest and lowland semi-evergreen dipterocarp forests,
an alternative habitat description is mixed dense forests of the plains, mainly among rivers and valleys.
The tree is a climax or late successional species, which in some secondary forests forms relatively young pure colonies.
The conservation status is based on rates of habitat loss, the major threat to the
taxa,
though in Vietnam it is cited as having a less threatened conservation status of Vulnerable.
In Cambodia the wood is classified as of the 2nd best category, and is in great demand for house and boat construction.
