CYPRESS PINE
 

Callitris Glaucophylla

It is extremely hardy, surviving poor soil conditions and low rainfall. The heartwood is durable with an excellent termite resistance that has made the material very versatile and widely utilized. The heartwood can range in colour from dark chocolate through to pale fawns. The sapwood is a pale yellow. Cypress is easily distinguishable with its feature of black or dark coloured knots contrasting with the heartwood and sapwood. It also has a distinctive smell which is quite noticeable when the timber is freshly installed or sanded.

Cypress is usually used where Termites are a threat, very popular in country NSW and also a great alternative to hardwood if a budget is required. We strongly recommend to Oil Cypress ASAP after installation to reduce the amount of surface checking.
