LEADWOOD - (Combretum imberbe) native to South Africa north to Tanzania, grows 32-64 feet tall and 1-2 feet in diameter.
Heartwood is a rich, reddish brown to dark brown; color darkens with age. Clearly visible sapwood is a pale yellow.
Common uses are carving, furniture, turned objects, and other small specialty items. Smaller trees are used as fuelwood, as the wood burns slowly at high temperatures.
