CHILEAN ASH
Description
Eucalyptus Regnans is the tallest hardwood tree on earth, remarkable for its rate of growth, tree form and unique lumber quality.
Chilean Ash is similar to Australian native Victorian Ash but with a lower density and of lighter colour that enhances its beautiful wood grain. Chilean Ash is much less prone to collapse and checking in the drying process. Rot and stain do not exist in plantation grown Chilean Ash and experiences no insect damage.
TEAK
RADIATA PINE
Description
Pinus radiata (D. Don), commonly known as Monterey pine or pine, is originally from the west coast of the United States, specifically California. It was introduced in Chile in the late nineteenth century, managing to successfully adapt climate and soil of the country, reaching even higher growth, and less time, those in their region of origin. Evergreen, needlelike leaves grouped in threes with a length between 7 and 15 cm, tapered. Straight trunk with bark thinner than in the pinaster. The leaves are dark green.
