I love the Tree! I've been lucky enough to play a guitar with 'The Tree' back and sides! From what I understand, it has a few different characteristics to it than other mahogany boards. I don't know the exact details, but i remember there is a considerable difference in the stiffness and workability. I don't build guitars, i just play them! All I can honestly speak to is the tone! And it is noticeably different than plain ol mahogany!
I think i was trying to answer your question of "reason for desirability"
