Thread: Stinky Wood

Where'd you find it?

Is it off a street tree or something from the bush?

Looks a bit like young camphor laurel.

Does it smell like camphor?

Hello Cliff, I fount it on the nature strip it's one of the trees the council planted, I can assure you it doesn't smell like camphor laurel. This smell is offensive.

Cheers Tony.

I was going to say it's some kind of Ash, but Ash doesn't pong. What's does it smell like? Some kind of sewerage smell?

Hi Scott, worst, and on top of that my throat feels like it was sand papered with 40 Grit. 24 hour later.

The bad part is, It as such a beautiful bark I wanted to leave on as a Feature.

Cheers Tony.

I've heard that Viburnum Tinus smells pretty bad, something akin to wet dog or wet socks. Euodia Elleryana (Corkwood) is pretty bad as well and going by your pictures, that's what I reckon you have.

My guess is peppercorn. I cot some to burn in a slow combustion but I had to drag it out as the stink was so bad. It cost me $35 to dump the rest.

Pinus Skunkyassus???

I reckon it maybe Illawarra Flame tree. Almost smells like dog poo

Hi Scott, I've turned green Viburnum Tinus and it doesn't smell no way near this one, I think Willy is on the right track.

Thanks all for the input,

Cheers Tony,
