Jarrah - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Jarrah trees are also unusual in that they have a lignotuber, a large underground swelling which stores carbohydrates and allows young trees to re-grow after a fire. |
 | | Jarrah is an important element in its ecology, providing numerous habitats for animal life, especially birds and bees, while it is alive, but also in the hollows that form as the heartwood decays, and when it falls, it provides shelter to ground-dwellers such as the chuditch (Dasyurus geoffroii), a marsupial cat. |
 | | Jarrah wood is very similar to Karri wood, and as both trees are found in the south west of Australia, the two timbers are frequently confused. |
