doesn't burn very hot, but free is free.
Not a real stable timber but I reckon you could make some nice things with it.

I have had some lying in my "I'll do something with that someday pile" for a while now. Decided to turn some today to see how it looks. I can tell you I won't be burning any of mine. Will post photo when camera batteries are charged.

It'll burn alright, not hot but it'll burn longer than pine.

When I was a kid in Goondiwindi (where there are plenty of them) we called them pepperina. Now it seems peppercorn is more common. Which is probably unfortunate as these are not our culinary peppercorns. The seed pod is just a similar shape. Originally Posted by goodwoody

FWIW, I had to drop one for my brother in law quite a while ago, it was a live tree (plenty of sap), and as I was cutting it with the chain saw, I got a bit of sap on my lips. My lips were quite numb for a couple of hours after.
