Saligna wood, properly known as Eucalyptus saligna<\/em>, is, perhaps not surprisingly given its scientific name, an Australian wood. The trees from which the wood is harvested can be found growing naturally in a band along the seaboard from New South Wales into Queensland. E. saligna<\/em> is commonly known as the Sydney Blue Gum. The tree can reach impressive heights of over 200 feet. E. saligna<\/em> is now a common plantation wood in Australia and South Africa, grown and harvested for the lower end furniture, utility item, and flooring trade.<\/p>\n
