Any ideas.

I have cut it all up to turn size bits.

Are you saying that the sap smells of eucalyptus?

Initially I would have said Pittosporum. THe sap it exudes is quite strong smelling, sticky when it gets on your hands.

Thanks quercus

The sap is clear and ha a smell (heads all stuffed up with sinus ATM LOML said it was strong smell not like eucalyptus I thought it resembled it)


After googling Pittosporum I think you may have it. Cut wood is very white with some almost spalting look still wet at this stage. When cutting I was getting a tinge of purple in places.
