What does KARRI mean in Scrabble?
noun
Australian
A tall eucalyptus tree native to southwestern Australia, or the strong, reddish timber it produces.
Karri ranks among the tallest flowering trees in the world, with straight, smooth trunks that can rise well over sixty meters in the forests of Western Australia, making karri forests a notable tourist attraction in their own right. The timber cut from karri is dense, strong, and reddish-brown, historically used for flooring, heavy construction, and even wagon wheels because of its resistance to wear. Both the living tree and the wood it yields share the single name karri without any change in form. The species belongs to the eucalyptus family but is usually referred to by its own common name rather than as a type of eucalyptus in everyday speech.
How KARRI is used
