JARRAH
-
(Eucalyptus marginata)
Jarrah, a species of Eucalyptus unique to
the south west of Western Australia, is a spectacular hardwood known for
its remarkable durability, extreme density and warm, rich colors. Its
distinctive blend of beauty and practicality lends it to use for both
elegant furniture and innovative construction. Jarrah is an excellent
choice for everything from tables and desks, to countertops and cabinets
to headboards and doors.
Jarrah trees are also unusual in that they have a lignotuber, a large
underground swelling which stores carbohydrates and allows young trees
to regenerate after a fire. Because they are deep-rooted, as much as 40
metres (130 ft), jarrah are drought resistant and able to draw water
from great depths during dry periods.
