Description
Grey Ironbark
The timber is very hard to work, limiting some applications requiring fine detailing. The heartwood is highly durable (Class 1), allowing a wide range of external applications.
Grey Ironbark was one of the first species to be utilised by the early settlers in the neighbourhood of Port Jackson, for bridging, house building, piles and generally where great strength and durability were required.
