Eucalyptus marginata

Jarrah is mainly found on lateritic soils uniquely in south-west Western Australia, in the 650 to 1250mm rainfall zone.  Under optimum conditions it is a tall tree attaining 30 to 40m in height with diameter at breast height up to 2m.  On poor sites, the species is reduced to a mallee form.

Heartwood of mature trees is dark-red, although regrowth is pinkish-red, while sapwood is pale yellow.  The texture of the wood is relatively coarse but even, with the grain slightly interlocked and sometimes producing a fiddleback figure.

This attractive grain and rich coloured timber is used extensively for furniture making, joinery, paneling and flooring.
