The heartwood is light brown in color, while the sapwood is yellowish-white. The grain is usually straight, but may be slightly interlocked. It has high durability and resistance to decay, making it suitable for outdoor applications. Pochote is also known for its unique color variation, ranging from pale yellow to deep rust.
