Tropical Hardwoods
In article , Jie-san
Laushi writes Tree lore has it that in North America, the most rot-resistant wood is Black Locust (Robinia pseudacacia) -- "It lasts two lifetimes"; softwoods Redwood and "Cedar" are runners up. In the UK oak (Quercus robur) in timber framed buildings lasts for several centuries. I would have guessed that some of the American oaks would behave similarly. -- Stewart Robert Hinsley |
