Tea Tree Hardwood

Tea Tree

Tea Tree wood (Leptospermum scoparium) is a hardwood weighing about 400 kg/m3.

Tea tree, or manuka (Leptospermum scoparium), is a shrub of the myrtle family, Myrtaceae. Kew's Plants of the World Online gives its native range as south-east Australia, New Zealand and the Chatham Islands. The Global Wood Density Database records a basic density (oven-dry mass divided by green volume) of 1.026 g/cm3 for Oceania (single record). 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 its durability or working properties.
