The inner bark of the young branches of
this plant yields a very fine fiber, sometimes called New Zealand
cotton, though more like flax than cotton; it is the Akaroa of the
New Zealanders. In Tasmania it bears the name of Currajong. Good
cordage and twine for fishing nets are made from this fiber. A
superior paper pulp is prepared from the wood; it is also employed
in making handles to baskets, rims for sieves, and hoops for
barrels.
