Kaki
Kaki wood (Diospyros kaki) is a hardwood weighing about 750 kg/m3.
Kaki (Diospyros kaki), the Japanese or Oriental persimmon, is a tree of the ebony family, Ebenaceae. Kew's Plants of the World Online gives its native range as Assam to central and southern China, Vietnam and Taiwan. The Global Wood Density Database records basic densities (oven-dry mass divided by green volume) of 0.634 and 0.706 g/cm3 in two records from China, and 0.551 g/cm3 in one record from South-East Asia. That is the only published density figure we found; it is not the same measure as an air-dried weight. The weight shown on this page does not come from a published source. We have not found a published source for the working properties or durability of kaki wood. The American persimmon (Diospyros virginiana) is a different species, so its data are not used here.
