Characteristic and wood color
Sapwood and heartwood are not sharply separated. The sapwood is not very wide and slightly lighter than the heartwood, which is reddish to pale brown, although some trunks may have a darker heart. When the wood is steamed, it has a wine-red colour when freshly cut, which later darkens to brownish. When cut in quarters, a vivid reddish-brown pattern appears on the light background. The wood is then very decorative.
