WHAT DOES FATWOOD MEAN IN ENGLISH?

fatwood

Fatwood

Fatwood, also known as "fat lighter," "lighter wood," "rich lighter," "pine knot," "lighter knot," "heart pine" or "lighter'd", is derived from the heartwood of pine trees. This resin-impregnated heartwood becomes hard and rot-resistant. The stump left in the ground after a tree has fallen or has been cut is an excellent source of fatwood. Other locations, such as the joints where limbs intersect the trunk, can also be harvested. Although most resinous pines can produce fatwood, in the southeastern United States the wood is commonly associated with longleaf pine, which historically was highly valued for its high pitch production.

Definition of fatwood in the English dictionary

The definition of fatwood in the dictionary is any wood used for kindling, especially the resinous wood from the stump of a pine tree; lightwood.
