Origin |
A large hardwood of the coast and coastal ranges between the Hunter River, in New South Wales and the Maryborough district of Queensland. |
Appearance |
Heartwood is yellowish brown with a tinge of olive green. Sapwood is usually distinctively paler. Texture is moderately course but even. Grain is often interlocked. A distinguishing characteristic, very unusual for a eucalypt, is the complete absence of gum veins. Pin-hole borer marks are often present, as are the fibre separations known as “water rings”. |
