Blackbutt

Blackbutt is a large tree primarily used for its hardwood. The wood of this tree is often used in the construction of wagons and ships like the Tri-fan Galleons. A blackbutt tree can grow between 20 to 45 meters in height with trunk of 4.1 diameters. It has dark fibrous grey-brown spongy bark covering the lower part of the trunk, which comes away in strips. The bark higher up and on the branches is a glossy cream, occasionally with scribbles from insect larvae.
