Final Thoughts – You can source sustainable woods for building your home from sustainably managed forests. Slash pine, bald cypress, and Douglas fir are fast-growing softwood species with natural durability suitable for construction. Also, hardwoods like white oak and black cherry make durable and beautiful structures for your home.

There are also sustainable options for construction coming from wood-like materials or engineered woods. More importantly, you can make it more sustainable by using these wooden structures for as long as possible. Then, look into upcycling the material to extend its usage and/or arrange for it to be recycled fully.

What tree produces the best wood?

Looking for High Quality Trees In light of all the recent news of the decline of the pulp and paper industry, and loss of low grade wood markets in general, we may need to modify our approach to forestry in New England. Over the past year I’ve toured veneer mills and saw mills, and furniture and wood products manufacturers.

To varying degrees, these businesses rely on good quality logs to make their products. Even those that have decent markets for lower grade lumber make their best profits with high quality (i.e. clear, wide, minimal knots) wood. Though the region produces quality timber, there is still unrealized potential for developing more of it in our New England woodlots.

Quality wood starts with quality trees. These are healthy, vigorous, straight, and sound, and of species that are valued in the marketplace. These include red oak, sugar maple, yellow birch, white ash, red maple, and white birch. Softwoods include white pine and red spruce.

1. Many of our hardwoods are not found in other parts of the country or the world, or if they are, don’t enjoy the same level of recognition for quality.
2. In fact, one veneer buyer told me that the best red oak in the world comes from right here in New Hampshire.
3. With a wide procurement area and decades of experience with buyers from all over the world, he wasn’t just speaking from a perspective of home state pride.

With New England pulp and paper mills closing, new state-of-the art mills opening in other parts of the world, and trees being grown from seedling to harvest in seven to ten years in the southern hemisphere, it’s quite clear that New England’s competitive advantage in forestry is not in producing pulpwood.

• Pulpwood quality trees are abundant around the world, so even those places that grow pulpwood quickly are producing a low margin commodity.
• Though the pulp and paper industry will continue to be an important market in New England, as seen by significant investments at some of the remaining mills in Maine, it won’t be the major player it once was.

In addition, markets for low grade wood will continue to be very important in the management of our forests. Low grade wood, however, should be viewed as a necessary by-product of forest management, rather than an end goal. New England’s competitive advantage is in valuable, high quality timber, species that are in demand around the world, such as the red oak mentioned above.

But instead of simply harvesting high quality trees as the opportunity arises, or only managing stands when trees are merchantable, more can be done to increase the quantity of high quality trees in our woodlots. As a former stock broker turned forest owner and manager that I knew used to say, “if you want ‘money wood’, you have to help it develop”.

Developing valuable trees requires a long-term perspective. Growing a significant amount of high quality trees also takes a willingness to practice intensive management, which involves early investments. When a stand of trees is young, there is an opportunity to choose the crop trees based on quality, vigor, and suitability to the site, and minimize the cost of improving the stand.

• Through various activities such as release, spacing, and pruning, we can improve the species composition, growth rates, and quality.
• There are of course costs involved with conducting work in a timber stand before the wood is of commercial size.
• And even if it is of commercial size, if it’s mostly pulpwood, harvesting costs can exceed revenues.

On the other hand, consider the cost of doing nothing. Buying land, paying taxes, maintaining boundary lines, building and repairing roads, trails, and other infrastructure all costs money. Holding land for a long period of time and making no investments in growing quality trees may result in a lot of low grade, low value trees that no one wants, and in the long run exceed the cost of investing in growing quality timber.

1. Growing quality trees for timber need not be exclusive of non-financial benefits.
2. Management for high quality trees not only accelerates their growth and increases the financial rate of return.
3. It can also improve wildlife benefits by increasing crown size and therefore seed and nut production, and increase structural diversity in a stand by opening the canopy, allowing seedlings and saplings to develop.

Aesthetic qualities can also be enhanced through crop tree management. Well-spaced trees with large crowns and the layers of seedlings, saplings, and pole timber that result from varying levels of canopy openings can be visually appealing. Landowners working to grow quality trees for the future will benefit not only themselves or their heirs by building wealth in the land, but they will also contribute to increased prosperity in the New England forest products industry by providing higher value wood.

: Looking for High Quality Trees

Which part of the tree provides the best timber?

5. Parts of a Timber Tree – i) Growth of tree: The tree sucks its food from the soil through its roots in the form of sap as moisture. The sap is raised by cells and fed to the branches and leaves of the tree. The sap consists of moisture and mineral-like Phosphates and Nitrates. ii) Pith (Medulla): It is the innermost central portion of the tree. It feeds the sap from roots to leaves. It is larger in young trees than that in mature trees. It has a dark color. It is usually about 12.5 mm in diameter, but sometimes it is barely visible.

• The heartwood provides the best timber for engineering work and instruction.
• iv) Sap Wood:
• The trunk part between the heartwood and cambium is called sapwood.
• It is light in weight, softer and weaker part.
• It consists of high percentages of moisture.
• Due to this, the wood is prone to deflect, so it is not used for commercial purposes.
• v) Cambium layer:
• The thin layer adjacent to the bark is known as the Cambium layer.
• It is mainly responsible for the circumferential growth of the tree.
• If the bark is removed from any region, the cambium layer gets exposed, and the cells cease to be active that are inactive, resulting in the death of a tree.
• vi) Inner bark:
• It is the inner skin of the layer covering the cambium layer from the injury.
• vii) Outer bark:
• It consists of wood fiber and is a stream’s outer cover or skin.
• It often shows fissures and cracks.
• It prevents the tree from injuries and weathering action.
• viii) Medullary ray:
• It is the radial ray from the pith to the cambium layer.

This ray binds the annual rings together. Also, it carries sap to various portions of the tree.

1. ix) Annual ring:
2. It is the concentric layer of wood around the pith.
3. Every year such a layer is added to the trunk of the tree.
4. The number of annual rings indicates the number of the edge of trees.

Which tree Grows Fastest for wood?

The Empress Tree The Empress Splendor (botanical name Paulownia fortunei and P. elongata ) is the one of the fastest-growing trees in the world. A hardwood, it can grow 10-20 feet in its first year and reaches maturity within 10 years. This picture shows a 2 year old tree grown in Alabama.

One of the fastest growing trees in the world First harvest within 10 years Highest strength/weight ratio of any commercial wood Regenerates without replanting, providing ongoing revenue through multiple harvests Non-invasive, non-GMO premium varieties Suitable for inter-cropping Will grow on marginal land and can be used for soil restoration Nitrogen fixing leaves naturally fertilize and replenish the soil Flowers provide pollination benefits and attract honey bees

The Empress Splendor ( Paulownia) is a sacred tree of the Orient, long revered for its fast growth, quality wood and uses in traditional Chinese medicine. In Japan, it is the emblem of the prime minister. In Japan, they associate the Empress Splendor tree with good fortune: “They used to call paulownia ‘gold wood’ because you could pretty much sell the wood from one paulownia tree and buy a new car with the proceeds.

• When you gave birth to a daughter, you’d plant three paulownia trees, so that they’d be grown by the time she was ready to marry, and you could use them as dowry.” – Takeshi Suzuki.
• Paulownia was once native to North America, but is not as well known here.
• Fossils of the leaves dating back to 40,000 years ago have been identified in Washington State.

Is this tree invasive? Will it cause harm to ecosystems where it is planted? The short answer is: no. There are between 9 and 23 species of Paulownia. One of these, the Paulownia tomentosa, is on the invasive species list. World Tree does not grow that variety.

We grow Paulownia fortunei a nd Paulownia elongata, neither of which is invasive. All Paulownia are prolific seed producers. However, the seeds are extremely hard to germinate – except under very rare conditions. That’s why we grow all our trees from tissue culture. Paulownia does not have a detrimental impact on the environment.

Quite the opposite. The tree’s natural ability to fix nitrogen and its nectar-rich flowers enhance rather than detract from the environment and Paulownia is becoming popular with the permaculture and ‘food farm’ community. The Rainforest Alliance is internationally recognized as a certification program for sustainable forestry and best practices for tree planting and agroforestry.

• It has reported that the Paulownia tree as an ecologically sound tree for the purposes of reforestation and carbon sequestration.
• Leaves are the lungs of the tree, absorbing carbon from the air for photosynthesis.
• The enormous, heart-shaped leaves of a young Empress Splendor tree suck carbon from the air at a tremendous rate.

A by NatureBank found the Empress Splendor to be one of the most efficient trees for sequestering carbon on the planet. One acre of Empress Splendor trees can sequester between 15-30 metric tons of carbon per acre per year over a 10 year growing cycle.

1. Studies indicate that the Empress Splendor tree uses a unique and powerful type of photosynthesis.
2. This system is found in only about 3% of all land plants, including some grasses like corn and sugarcane, but very few trees.
3. This makes the tree highly efficient at sequestering carbon and storing large amounts of organic matter in its leaves.

Perhaps the most impressive property of the Empress Splendor (Paulownia) tree is its ability to regenerate. After harvest, the tree regenerates from the stump – without replanting. The strong, healthy root system produces vigorous new growth, which with proper pruning will quickly develop into a new tree.

1. This ability of the tree to replace itself without replanting makes it a truly sustainable, self-renewing source of timber for generations to come.
2. Empress Splendor trees intercrop well with many other plants, providing them with natural protection from the elements.
3. In Latin America our farmers intercrop with coffee, cacao, plantains, corn and many other crops.

The large leaves and rapid growth of the trees provides shade to the companion plants. The deep root system of the Empress Splendor means they don’t compete with the other plants. It’s a perfect partnership. The Empress Splendor tree also has special nitrogen-fixing properties that allow it naturally return nitrogen to depleted soil through its leaves and root systems.

This process is most often found in legumes, and rarely in trees. Nitrogen deficiency in soil is a result of industrial farming practices and a serious challenge to agriculture around the world. Farmers must spend millions of dollars a year on synthetic nitrogen fertilizers to ensure their crops’ survival.

Empress Splendor trees provide a natural solution to nitrogen deficiency. The leaves make excellent fertilizer estimated to contain over 3% nitrogen content. Together with increased carbon in the soil, the nitrogen rich soil can retrain water more efficiently and provides a much more robust and resilient environment for all the plants and trees in the area.

The blossoms of the Empress Splendor tree are highly “nectariferous” creating a much-needed source of nectar for pollinating insects including honeybees. It is estimated that one acre of Empress Splendor tree blossoms can generate enough nectar to produce 100 jars of honey per year. Without effective pollination services, one third of global agriculture would not be possible.

The Empress Splendor therefore has a critical role to play in maintaining healthy agricultural systems, especially when planted with or close to other flowering crops such as coffee. The leaves of the Empress Splendor tree contain over 20% protein and are excellent feed stock for ruminants.

• Because the leaves of the Empress Splendor tree are high in protein, nitrogen, fats, sugars and phosphorus, they can form the basis of excellent green fertilizer.
• The nitrogen content in the leaves is comparable with the content of legume leaves.
• This makes their application an excellent way to enrich organic soil matter.

Empress Splendor trees grow well in nutrient poor and even contaminated soils. The tree has been used successfully in mine reclamation projects shown to absorb heavy metals and nitrates. They can also be used as buffer around livestock operations and arable farms to prevent leaching.

What trees are used for wood?

Difference Between Hardwood and Softwood – The difference between softwoods and hardwoods comes down to the type of tree they’re harvested from. Softwoods come from conifer trees, which produce cones and have needles. Some common types of softwood trees include fir, redwood, pine, cedar and spruce.

• Hardwoods, in contrast, are milled from trees that don’t produce cones or needles.
• These deciduous trees have seeds and leaves instead.
• Some of the common types of hardwood include walnut, cherry, oak, mahogany and maple.
• Due to the name softwood, there’s a common misconception that they’re soft.
• While some hardwoods are harder and more difficult to work with, many hardwoods are softer than their softwood counterparts.

The bottom line? The difference between hardwood and softwood doesn’t come down to how hard or soft they are. Instead, they refer to the type of tree they come from. It should be noted that bamboo and palm are considered hardwoods, but they aren’t deciduous trees.

Why is wood good for construction?

Tree-conomics. – Wood is a sustainable, high-value building material. Building with wood is efficient, often completed faster than other systems, and can be done year-round in almost any climate. Wood can often be locally sourced from North American forests and is frequently less expensive than alternative building materials.

What trees are used for building houses?

Hardwood or Softwood Construction? – Your first big choice is between using a hardwood (any leaf-bearing tree) or a softwood (any cone-bearing tree). Hardwoods include ash, elm, maple, and oak. Softwood trees include cedar, fir, and pine. Hardwood construction is often used for walls, ceilings, and floors.

Which part of a tree is strong?

Anatomy of a Tree

The outer bark is the tree’s protection from the outside world. Continually renewed from within, it helps keep out moisture in the rain, and prevents the tree from losing moisture when the air is dry. It insulates against cold and heat and wards off insect enemies. The inner bark, or “phloem”, is pipeline through which food is passed to the rest of the tree. It lives for only a short time, then dies and turns to cork to become part of the protective outer bark. The cambium cell layer is the growing part of the trunk. It annually produces new bark and new wood in response to hormones that pass down through the phloem with food from the leaves. These hormones, called “auxins”, stimulate growth in cells. Auxins are produced by leaf buds at the ends of branches as soon as they start growing in spring. Sapwood is the tree’s pipeline for water moving up to the leaves. Sapwood is new wood. As newer rings of sapwood are laid down, inner cells lose their vitality and turn to heartwood. Heartwood is the central, supporting pillar of the tree. Although dead, it will not decay or lose strength while the outer layers are intact. A composite of hollow, needlelike cellulose fibers bound together by a chemical glue called lignin, it is in many ways as strong as steel. A piece 12″ long and 1″ by 2″ in cross section set vertically can support a weight of twenty tons!

And this tells us much about their shapes. For example, the narrow needles of a Douglasfir can expose as much as three acres of chlorophyll surface to the sun. The lobes, leaflets and jagged edges of many broad leaves have their uses, too. They help evaporate the water used in food-building, reduce wind resistance—even provide “drip tips” to shed rain that, left standing, could decay the leaf.

What is the most efficient tree?

The live oak is the most efficient carbon capturing tree, it being able to sequester some 10,994 CO 2 equivalent over its lifetime.

Which is the cheapest wood?

Which wood is precious than gold?

One kilogram of agarwood can cost as much as $1,00,000 or Rs.73,00,000. – If anyone is asked about the most precious thing on earth, a person is expected to say gold or diamond. But would you believe it if you were told that there’s a variety of wood much more precious than any stone or metal on earth? Yes, you read that right.

• Agarwood, a kind of wood derived from the aquilaria tree, is also called aloeswood or eaglewood.
• This wood is found in Japan, Arabia, China, India, and South-East Asian countries.
• Agarwood is the world’s rarest and the most expensive variety of wood to be sold.
• According to Business Insider, one kilogram of agarwood can cost as much as $1,00,000 or Rs.73,00,000.

At present, the price of one gram of diamond in India is Rs 3,25,000, while 10 grams of gold is worth around Rs 47,695. Agarwood is commonly known as Kyara or Kyanam in Japan. Perfumes and other fragrant articles are made from Agarwood. After the wood decomposes, its remains are used in the production of perfume.

1. Oud oil is also extracted from the resin that is extracted from agarwood.
2. Oud is a kind of essential oil that is used only in manufacturing perfumes, and in today’s era, this oil costs 25 lakh rupees per kg.
3. Because of its price, Agarwood is also called Wood of Gods or God’s wood.
4. There are many Aquilaria trees in countries such as China, Japan and Hong Kong, but agarwood is so valuable that its illegal harvesting and smuggling is being done on a large scale.

According to a BBC report, the smuggling rates are so high that now the Aquilaria trees are almost being eradicated. According to the report, Asian Plantation Capital Company is the largest agarwood processing company in Asia. Read all the Latest News, Breaking News and IPL 2022 Live Updates here.

What is the longest lasting wood?

LOW MAINTENANCE AND MOISTURE-RESISTANT – The most sensible wood is both low maintenance and highly resistant to moisture, which is particularly important for outside projects such outdoor furniture, decks, and balconies. The best woods for water resistance are hardwoods that have a straight grain and dense woods that prevent moisture from penetrating a structure.

Among one of these options is cedar wood. Cedar is insect-resistant because of its natural aromatic scent, which makes it ideal for outdoor furniture, as well as indoor furniture, such as hope chests and dressers. It is also commonly used for closets, saunas, and house siding. Cedar wood projects typically last more than 20 years without splitting, rotting, or warping.

White oak and teak are also long lasting woods that are resistant to decay, twisting, cracking, or warping. These low maintenance dense woods have a natural ability to repel moisture, insects, and rotting, which make them an excellent choice when building outdoor wood furniture.

Additionally, pressure treated boards such as pine are also options for longer lasting products, especially when it comes to decking, furniture, and pool enclosures. This ubiquitous material is usually less expensive and plentiful at a local lumberyard. Using furniture covers when your outdoor furniture is not in use will protect it from the elements and extend the life of your furniture.

If you have questions regarding what materials you should use for your next project or wish to learn more about which wood will provide you with the longest lasting results, let our specialists help. You may contact us either by calling (909) 920-5430 or filling out our information request form,

And, of course, in a quick and digital way, since all the measurements are available online and can be easily shared between the parts during the process.

Some of the tree species available are ideal for the diameter measurement and some are mostly measured for pile volume, as well as the volumes in a truck. Below, you can find a quick guide through the available tree species and the best ways to measure them with Timbeter.

1. Pine Pine is an evergreen conifer which is spread in a few parts of the Southern Hemisphere and all over the Northern Hemisphere from the Equator to the Arctic.
2. Depending on the climate zones, pines can grow either high on the mountains or on the plain (including coastlines and beaches).
3. There are about 130 pine species in the world, and all of them are being actively used in agriculture, pharmaceutical purposes, construction, etc.

Pines are the most commercially valuable tree species due to their significant timber quality. From the pine family, North-American native Douglas fir species is also commonly measured by our users in the northern hemisphere. Spruce Spruce comes from the genus of about 35 species of conifers called Pinaceae. These conifers are mainly widespread in the northern temperate climate zones: Norway, Sweden, Russia, Japan, North America and Canada. Even though spruce is relatively soft, it is widely used for a variety of purposes.

• Spruce is useful as a building wood, pulpwood, and also as a source of valuable essential oils.
• Birch Birch is a thin-leaved tree which is mainly widespread in the Northern Hemisphere and constitutes the forest-firming formation for deciduous and mixed coniferous forests.
• Birch can be characterized as a hardwood tree with the recognizable bark marked with horizontal lenticels.

Due to its hardness, birch is widely used as firewood and also for plywood and lumber production. Extracts of birch are popular ingredients for cosmetics, flavouring and leather oiling. Aspen Aspen trees are native to regions with cool summers, as in the north of the Northern Hemisphere, in environments dominated by coniferous species. Populus, as classified by botanists, evolved several adaptations in order to survive in different environments, such as dropping leaves in the winter to prevent damage from heavy snow and photosynthetic bark, which allows the tree to keep growing even after the leaves have been dropped. Alder Alder is a common name of a tree genus which belongs to the birch family Betulaceae and consists of almost 40 species. Alder might be either a tree or a shrub depending on a certain area and the environmental conditions. Its habitat mainly belongs to the north temperate zone, though some species can be found in Bengal, Central America and the Andes.

• Alder is distributed in the areas of moist soils and swamps.
• Alder wood is not a really strong, but a water-resistant one, so this quality makes it useful for underwater constructions.
• Apart from that, it is widely used in making woodworking products.
• Grey Alder Grey (or speckled) alder is a species of alder native to the cooler parts of the Northern Hemisphere (being typical for almost the whole of Europe, Transcaucasia, Siberia, Northern America, etc).

Its seeds are usually easily spread and this species is often characterized by its fertility. Unlike the black alder wood, grey alder wood is much softer. It is widely used for underwater construction since it is water-resistant and can also handle dramatic temperature changes. Black Alder Black alder, which belongs to the family Betulaceae, is native to most of Europe, Asia and Northern Africa. These species grow under the circumstances of moist soils (either river or lake banks, fens and swamps) and plenty of daylight. Its wood is rather light and soft with the homogeneous wood structure.

It is mainly used for plywood and particle boards production, coal production and also popular with underwater construction due to its water-resistance. Ash Ash is a flowering plant in the olive family which contains up to 60 species. It is widely spread across much of Europe, Asia and North America in the places of moist and fertile soils.

Ash is a hardwood, which is dense, strong and elastic. Ash is popular in veneer production; ash veneer is then used for musical instruments, finishing and furniture production. Oak Oak belongs to the beech family and consists of approximately 600 different species.

• Oaks are native to the Northern Hemisphere; some of the species are spread even in tropical areas.
• North America and China are considered to be the biggest centres of oak diversity.
• Oak is famous for its spirally arranged leaves, acorns and strong and hard timber (its density is about 0,75 g/cm3).
• The latter makes oak wood a popular material which is commonly used for furniture making, building construction, flooring and veneer production.

Oak is very popular with spirits production as it is used for barrel-making and corks (wine stoppers) production. Cedar Cedar (or Cedrus ) is a coniferous tree adapted to the mountainous climate and native to the Mediterranean region and the western Himalayas; it is also widely present in Japan and Crimea region. Cedarwood and oils are famous for their repellent characteristics.

• Apart from that, valuable and strong cedarwood is widely used for shipbuilding and construction.
• Eucalyptus Most species of Eucalyptus are native to Australia, being present in about three-quarters of Australian forests.
• The importance of Eucalyptus comes to the fact that it is being grown all over the world due to their fast growth and valuable timber, cellulose mass and essential produce, such as oils and honey.

One interesting fact is that Eucalyptus species are adapted to fire and are able to resprout after wildfires and have seeds which survive high temperatures. Cypress Cypress is an evergreen coniferous tree which belongs to the family Cupressaceae ; it’s habitat are the northern temperate regions. When using Timbeter, you can use one of the above species for your measurements as well as add new tree species through our Storage Module.

Spruce Spruce comes from the genus of about 35 species of conifers called Pinaceae. These conifers are mainly widespread in the northern temperate climate zones: Norway, Sweden, Russia, Japan, North America and Canada. Even though spruce is relatively soft, it is widely used for a variety of purposes.

Spruce is useful as a building wood, pulpwood, and also as a source of valuable essential oils. Birch Birch is a thin-leaved tree which is mainly widespread in the Northern Hemisphere and constitutes the forest-firming formation for deciduous and mixed coniferous forests. Birch can be characterized as a hardwood tree with the recognizable bark marked with horizontal lenticels.

Due to its hardness, birch is widely used as firewood and also for plywood and lumber production. Extracts of birch are popular ingredients for cosmetics, flavouring and leather oiling. Aspen Aspen trees are native to regions with cool summers, as in the north of the Northern Hemisphere, in environments dominated by coniferous species. Populus, as classified by botanists, evolved several adaptations in order to survive in different environments, such as dropping leaves in the winter to prevent damage from heavy snow and photosynthetic bark, which allows the tree to keep growing even after the leaves have been dropped. Alder Alder is a common name of a tree genus which belongs to the birch family Betulaceae and consists of almost 40 species. Alder might be either a tree or a shrub depending on a certain area and the environmental conditions. Its habitat mainly belongs to the north temperate zone, though some species can be found in Bengal, Central America and the Andes.

• Alder is distributed in the areas of moist soils and swamps.
• Alder wood is not a really strong, but a water-resistant one, so this quality makes it useful for underwater constructions.
• Apart from that, it is widely used in making woodworking products.
• Grey Alder Grey (or speckled) alder is a species of alder native to the cooler parts of the Northern Hemisphere (being typical for almost the whole of Europe, Transcaucasia, Siberia, Northern America, etc).

Its seeds are usually easily spread and this species is often characterized by its fertility. Unlike the black alder wood, grey alder wood is much softer. It is widely used for underwater construction since it is water-resistant and can also handle dramatic temperature changes. Black Alder Black alder, which belongs to the family Betulaceae, is native to most of Europe, Asia and Northern Africa. These species grow under the circumstances of moist soils (either river or lake banks, fens and swamps) and plenty of daylight. Its wood is rather light and soft with the homogeneous wood structure.

It is mainly used for plywood and particle boards production, coal production and also popular with underwater construction due to its water-resistance. Ash Ash is a flowering plant in the olive family which contains up to 60 species. It is widely spread across much of Europe, Asia and North America in the places of moist and fertile soils.

Ash is a hardwood, which is dense, strong and elastic. Ash is popular in veneer production; ash veneer is then used for musical instruments, finishing and furniture production. Oak Oak belongs to the beech family and consists of approximately 600 different species.

Oaks are native to the Northern Hemisphere; some of the species are spread even in tropical areas. North America and China are considered to be the biggest centres of oak diversity. Oak is famous for its spirally arranged leaves, acorns and strong and hard timber (its density is about 0,75 g/cm3). The latter makes oak wood a popular material which is commonly used for furniture making, building construction, flooring and veneer production.

Oak is very popular with spirits production as it is used for barrel-making and corks (wine stoppers) production. Cedar Cedar (or Cedrus ) is a coniferous tree adapted to the mountainous climate and native to the Mediterranean region and the western Himalayas; it is also widely present in Japan and Crimea region. Cedarwood and oils are famous for their repellent characteristics.

Apart from that, valuable and strong cedarwood is widely used for shipbuilding and construction. Eucalyptus Most species of Eucalyptus are native to Australia, being present in about three-quarters of Australian forests. The importance of Eucalyptus comes to the fact that it is being grown all over the world due to their fast growth and valuable timber, cellulose mass and essential produce, such as oils and honey.

One interesting fact is that Eucalyptus species are adapted to fire and are able to resprout after wildfires and have seeds which survive high temperatures. Cypress Cypress is an evergreen coniferous tree which belongs to the family Cupressaceae ; it’s habitat are the northern temperate regions.
