Characteristic and wood color
Sapwood and heartwood clearly separated. Sapwood wide and grey-white. The heartwood in the root run and the forked branches mostly grainy. Colour of the heartwood depends on age and location, grey-brown to dark brown, often wavy, striped and cloudy, matt and shiny. Pores in early wood clearly visible, coarser and larger than in late wood. Growth zones and annual rings differently pronounced. Fibre and colour deviations are frequent. The wood is very decorative and moderately shrinking.
