Wood light, soft, not strong, brittle, coarse-grained ; bands of 

 small summer cells broad, very resinous, conspicuous, resin passages 

 few, large ; medullary rays numerous, prominent ; colour light red, 

 the thick sapwood nearly white ; specific gravity, 0*4133 ; ash, 0'37 

 (C. S. Sargent). 



Seems to be hardy.
