Cypress Lumber

The cypress tree grows to heights of 50 feet in the forests of North America. In the North, these trees are deciduous, becoming semi-evergreen to evergreen in the South. The cypress tree is revered for its heartwood, which is exceptionally resistant to insect damage and decay. The color of this mature wood varies quite a bit, but it is generally colored with hues of yellow, brown or red. The less mature sapwood is almost completely white.

Because of its extreme resistance to decay and because of its strength, Cypress lumber is often used in the construction of paneling, floors and decks. Internet Lumber sells cypress lumber that is meant for the construction of decks and paneling in their inventory of domestic hardwoods. They sell about a dozen different types of domestic species in their online inventory. Some of the other species include walnut, cherry and poplar.

The majority of the lumber products sold at Internet Lumber are exotic hardwoods. They have over 30 different species to choose from, which are from all regions of the globe.
