Cassia

[artme]

Anyone ever turned this?
I'll be removing a small speciman in a few weeks. Don't want to waste it if it's ok to work.

Try here Artme. Apparently its related to camphor laurel, so it can't be all that bad

By the looks of things I've been misled. That is certainly not the tree I have.
Thanx fixer.

The Cassia I know is a member of the pea family.
Bright yellow flowers , actually more of a tall shrub than a tree.
No experience turning it but I would try it if it came my way.
