Characteristic and wood color
Sapwood and heartwood are well distinguishable. The sapwood is narrow and colourless or whiteish. The heartwood varies in colour from light yellowish brown to a medium brown, usually with a reddish shimmer, and later darkening. Like the European oak, the structure of this species is very dependent on the growth conditions. The woods grown in the north are consistently fine-grained and mild, particularly suitable for veneers and interior finishing, while those of more southern provenance are faster growing, coarser and with broad annual rings, particularly suitable for construction purposes.
