This excessively slow growing tree is only found in the cool temperate rainforests of Tasmania. Due to its slow growth rate it is not grown in plantations and hence its management is of special importance.

The quiet presence of the timber makes it popular as internal panelling and it is being used increasingly as a weatherboard that doesn't require painting. Under these conditions it weathers to a beautiful silver-grey colour. The wood has a distinctive grain but is sometimes confused with the more famous Huon Pine.

For a soft wood, Celery Top Pine is strong, hard and has low shrinkage. These qualities, combined with its durability and resistance to water, make it ideal for functional items and particularly useful for table and kitchenware.
