Its wood provided good firewood, and also made superior charcoal. Like the Olea, this species also produces small quantities of a sticky substance [J: dios] on its flowering tips and leaves. As fodder, the foliage is no more popular with livestock than is the foliage of the olive, being browsed - or cut and taken to feed settlement livestock - only in bad years or during periods of drought. Once the wood fully hardened and seasoned, termites and other wood-boring insects leave it alone, and this quality made the wood more useful for constructing longer-term huts and byres. The wood was also cut and shaped into various utensils, or used to make staves and sticks, and so on. (Ref. Plants of Dhofar). The wood has been used in the construction of huts. (Ref. Flora of Oman, vol.2).
