- Promoted species
Divida is a dense yellow-brown to reddish hardwood whose freshly cut wood carries a strong garlic-like odour that fades on drying. It is durable and hard-wearing, and is promoted for flooring, joinery and heavy interior work. The high density makes it demanding to machine and fixings should be pre-bored.
