Australian Cypress
(Callitris glaucophylla)
Australian White Cypress is a moderately small tree, usually around 20 metres in height and 300 -600 mm in diameter. Botanically the species is a softwood, which results in it occasionally being referred to as Cypress Pine however, unlike most Pines the timber is particularly hard and durable. It grows across most of the lower rainfall areas Australia apart from the very North of the continent, but its main occurrence is on the Western slopes and plains of NSW and Queensland. The timber is very fine grained with a strong but pleasant odour. The heartwood varies considerably in colour from light straw to dark chocolate brown, the sapwood is always distinctively light yellow to almost white. Frequent knots and defined grain pattern provide lots of feature.
