Which tree has the hardest wood in the world?

The Australian Buloke tree

Background

Many people think oak or ebony has the hardest wood. But the Australian Buloke tree beats them all. Its wood is so hard that normal tools can barely cut through it. An axe would go blunt before the tree would break.
