All our Red Grandis is produced in sustainably managed, FSC certified plantations. The trees are harvested after just 20 years, making this a very environmentally conscious timber and a net absorber of carbon dioxide. Not only is Red Grandis a'Green' choice, it is also ethically sourced.

Being plantation grown, the timber is highly sustainable, and extracted without disturbance to natural forests. The certification requirements ensure that the plantation workers receive a decent livelihood and that their health and safety needs are met. As a result, the local economy benefits and this in turn should help reduce illegal logging of other species. The species is native to Australia, though plantations have been established in South America and South Africa. The term'Red Grandis' specifically refers to plantations established in South America, particularly in Uraguay and Brazil.

The wood varies from light pink to pale red in colour, with contrasting pale-grey sapwood. It has a similar appearance to many of the mahogany type timbers such as Sapele and Swietenia, but of course without the environmental consequences of extracting these species. Typically the timber weighs around 600kg/m3. Suitable for furniture, cabinetry and joinery for interior and exterior work. The timber stains and finishes readily and is ideal for a wide variety of wood crafts and other uses.
