Didymocheton fraserianus, commonly known as Rosewood or Rose Mahogany, is a deciduous tree native to the subtropical rainforests of eastern Australia, specifically in New South Wales and Queensland. It can reach impressive heights of up to 200 feet (61 meters), with a typical width of 50-70 feet (15-21 meters). The tree is characterized by its straight trunk, dense canopy, and dark green, pinnate leaves. The bark is rose-scented, which is a unique feature among trees. It produces inconspicuous flowers followed by woody, capsule-like fruits.

Rosewood is valued for its hard, durable timber, which is used in high-end furniture making, and its bark, which is distilled for essential oils. In cultivation, it is often planted as a shade tree in large spaces due to its expansive canopy. It prefers well-drained, fertile soils and can tolerate a range of conditions, including occasional drought and moderate frost. While it thrives in full sun to part shade, it requires ample space to accommodate its large size. Gardeners should be aware of its potential to grow extensive roots, which can be problematic near buildings or pavement.CC BY-SA 4.0
