| First published in | Jour. Bot. 61: 18 1923 |
General Uses Top
Suggest a correction!Common products:
Ornamental nursery stock and landscape plantings for hedges, screens, and topiary; limited wood turning and craft items (pen blanks, small carvings); experimental research material in phytochemistry and ecology.
Industrial and craft applications:
Field observations note that the dense, fine-grained wood is suitable for turnery and small craft articles, but no established industrial wood-based products (e.g., furniture lines, pulping streams, fiberboards) are widely reported.
Food and beverages (non-medicinal):
No documented edible uses; the fruits are noted as non-edible in horticultural guides.
Colorants and tanning:
No verified extract use as textile dyes or leather tanning agents; isolated literature refers to the plant as a “tanning material” without consistent confirmation of tannin class or application practices.
Wood and fiber:
Stemwood used on a small scale for pens, craft items, and carving; no evidence of bast fiber or standardized timber grading.
Fragrance and cosmetics:
No documented use as a fragrance ingredient or cosmetic additive; no CO2-extraction or essential-oil yields are recorded.
Properties relevant to use:
Lignified, fine-textured wood supports craft use; moderate growth and evergreen habit support ornamental cropping. No chemical composition data (oil composition, tannin class, extractive profile) are well-documented for commercial applications.
Standards and regulation:
No established ISO/ASTM/EN or national product standards identified for this species.
Sustainability and sourcing:
Propagation by seed and cuttings is standard in nursery practice; regional horticultural sources indicate robust survival and pruning tolerance, which reduces replanting frequency in hedgerow systems. No global forestry or plantation certification programs specifically reference the species.
