Paulonia is indeed as you describe, also
extremely susceptible to wind damage.It is a very light timber unsuitable I
believe for stuctural purposes.
Tasmanian Blackwood has a similar cycle to
douglas fir or shorter, is very susceptible to possum damage, they break
the leaders off...difficult to establish good form unless they're grown up
through holes in a native canopy...and I believe so far NZ grown product is
dissappointingly variable in colour, workability, lustre,
stability.
