Wood light, soft, weak, brittle, close-jammed, compact; bands of small summer cells thin, not conspicuous, 

 resin passages few, not large; medullary rays numerous, obscure; color, yellow or light brown, the sap-wood nearly 

 white ; specific gravity, 0.5G5S ; ash, O.G8 ; largely used for fuel and charcoal.
