light yellow-brown and up to 8 cm wide which merges gradually to the
heartwood which is pale red-brown darkening upon exposure to red-brown. Texture is

interlocked or sometimes wavy. Attractive growth rings figure on flat-sawn surface as a
result of layers of parenchyma as well as pore rings. The timber is light to moderately hard
with an air-dry density of 504 to 790 kg m-3.
