    A few months ago someone from Marybrough Qld had a lignum vitae tree he was going to cut down. There was several responses to the thread.

    Default Lignum vitae

    If is probably Premna lignum vitae. Just look it up in any standare rainforest trees or timber book for a description of the wood. A common book is "Rainforest Trees of Mainland SE Australia" by A.G. Floyd. It is a hard and dense pale coloured timgber which was even once used for fence posts. I have cut a few but they are very slow growing and hard to come by. Bob
