About China-Fir
Known as Cunninghamia Lanceolata, it is sometimes called “China-fir” or “Chinese Cedar”, but is neither a fir nor a cedar. Its name derives from its similarity to Western Red Cedar, also not a true cedar. The genus name Cunninghamia honours Dr. James Cunningham, who introduced the species.
China fir offers exceptional life & durability and is classified as highly resistant to fungal attack - a classification similar to that given to its cousin, the western red cedar.
The wood is pale yellow to white, density 0.4-0.5, soft yet durable, easily worked, and strongly resistant to rot, insects and termites. It is used in constructing buildings, bridges, ships, furniture, and more.
Cunninghamia, as tested by the Department of Forest Products at Oregon State University, is proven to be as rot, termite and fungal decay resistant as other durable softwoods such as Western Red Cedar, Redwood, Incense Cedar and Northern White Cedar.
