Marri: Corymbia calophylla

Marri is commonly referred to as ‘red-gum’.  Marri is usually a medium sized to tall tree up to 40m in height with flaky grey bark, widely distributed in the south west of  Western Australia in the Jarrah and Karri forests.  It extends from north of Geraldton southwards to Cape Riche, and eastwards to beyond Narrogin in the Wheat belt.

Heartwood is pale yellow to light brown to reddish brown, with sapwood bands up to 40mm wide, usually sufficiently paler to be distinguishable from the heartwood.

 

WA Blackbutt: Eucalyptus patems

WA Blackbutt has the common name ‘Yarri’.  It is usually a tall tree up to 45m in height x 1.8 dia & a relatively large straight bole.    On less favourable, particularly swampy sites, it is a smaller tree of poor form found near Perth to Albany in the south.

Heartwood is pale yellow-brownish, sapwood is sufficiently paler to be distinguishable.  Availability is limited because a large part of the resource is now conserved in stream reserves.
