Eucalyptus sideroxylon growing in our mini arboretum as a collection of trees and shrubs
of native origin especially for the birds.

We chose sideroxylon to line the fenceline with 5 of these trees, and this is one we
added in amongst other trees & shrubs alongside a small horse-yard with horse shelters.

A small tree in our climate with very pretty gum blossom that have the colours of
apple blossom, pink & cream. This tree doesn't shed bark like the indigenous group
of gum trees in our area.

The wood is relatively hard and dense, and is often used for firewood.
It has very high resistance to rotting and can be used for fence posts, piers, sleepers.
Heartwood dark red, sapwood pale yellow. Very dense, hard, fine grained timber, difficult to work, but polishes to a high sheen.
Has been used for furniture, turnery, boat-building, benchtops.
Popular as a craft furniture timber during the 1990s and early 2000s,
also used ironbark that had been submerged as a wharf pier for 80 years in a range of tables.
At about 1130 kg/m3 it is one of the few timbers that will not float.
