Benefits The wood is tough and durable, but also flexible in thin strips and was used by the Algonquian people for making snowshoes and other products where toughness was required. Although has little commercial significance, its principle wood use is for pulpwood but also for posts, poles, rough lumber and fuelwood. It is also grown as an ornamental tree in gardens in cold regions.
