One of the most important Australian hardwoods, E. obliqua is often sold with E. regnans (mountain ash) as Victorian ash or Tasmanian oak depending on its origin. It is slightly denser than E. regnans – estimates of density range from 720 to 830 kg/m (1,500 to 1,700 lb/yd). The sapwood is pale brown, the heartwood light brown.
Tasmanian oak [1] is a native Australian hardwood produced by any of three trees, Eucalyptus regnans, Eucalyptus obliqua or Eucalyptus delegatensis, when it is sourced from the Australian state of Tasmania. [2]

[9] [26] Another non-ash host has also been discovered, Olea europaea, albeit in a lab setting. [27]
