chinese cellar ?
Hi,
given a chunk of wood and told it was chinese cellar. Told its a weed. taken Northern NSW.
make any sense as to what it is. Its fair coloured and looks a bit like Paulownia. Thinking maybe thats another name for it.
thanks
Jake

Maybe thats what it is . I dont' know.
I'm sure what he said though that it was chinese cellar. But I don't know how to spell cellar.....seler?
took a picture. not that it maybe much help. With a bit of silky oak to try and give an idea of colour. Bit of mould running through it.
Has similar sort of weight and softness as jacaranda or camphor but different in some way and pretty sure now its not paulownia like I origionally thought.
he's got a lot of it hes throwing away so I guess it ant anything special.

Dunno, the Chinese Elm I've seen had darker lines that that.

Its probably Champhor Laurel - now classified as a noxious weed.

Chinese Celtis (Celtis sinensis), common weed species, often wrongly called Chinese Elm.
Another species altogether, Ulmus parvifolia is known as Chinese Em.Brian

Jake, you've probably seen plenty of Chinese Celtis without knowing.
It tends to establish dense thickets where no individual get to significant size, so people don't realise it can be a modest-sized tree.Brian

Thanks Brian, probably right.
I guite like it, excepting the mould running through it. Camphor seems to have that same sort of problem. If only there was a way of getting rid of the mould.

I've been told that doesn't work, but haven't tried it personally.
Remember reading some blokes thread where he tried everything, and his conclusion there was nothing to be done about it.
anyway. ta.
