eucalyptus wood

Australian gum lumber

Wood from eucalyptus trees, native to Australia and widely cultivated elsewhere.

Eucalyptus wood is dense, hard, and durable, used for flooring, furniture, and construction.

Some species yield timber prized for outdoor applications due to natural rot resistance.

The wood burns hot, making it popular as firewood: The cabin smelled of eucalyptus wood smoke.
