Red Mallee (Eucalyptus oleosa) a native to Australia is known for its pink to orangish-red color. it can have a distinctive mixture of pink, red, and violet heartwood with contrasting white sapwood - a unique and visually striking wood.
The term "mallee" refers to the growth form of the tree, which typically consists of multiple smaller-diameter stems growing from a common root system. This growth form makes most mallee species ill-suited for standard lumber, but the burr growths can be used for turning and other small specialty projects.
