Red Grandis (Eucalyptus grandis) is from the eucalyptus family. Its native habitat is the eastern coast of Australia and so it is rare in this country. It grows in a tall habit, often 150 feet or more, and has straight, rose colored grain that makes it desirable for several applications. When turned it is medium soft, smooths nicely and finishes well.
