產自熱帶亞洲或非洲各種柿屬（Diospyros）樹木之堅硬、沈重、耐用的心材，從最早的年代便以其高密度及光滑的紋理而極具價值，由努比亞和蘇丹引進埃及。此木材極為耐用、抗腐蝕、抗菌、抗粉蠹蟲，但相對地進行任何作業處理及雕刻也很困難，曾被用於裝飾物件、鑲嵌作品、黑色鋼琴鍵、樂器和工具把手。來自其他幾種無關連的物種的深色、沈重木材，因其顏色而也被稱為烏木，包括美洲黑檀、棕黑檀、藍黑檀和非洲黑檀。

柿樹屬(屬)

英文....	A hard, heavy, durable heartwood wood yielded by various trees of the genus Diospyros in tropical Asia and Africa, valued for its dense, smooth-grain from the earliest times; was imported to Egypt from Nubia and the Sudan. It is extremely durable, resistant to rotting, fungi and powder post beetles, but difficult to work and carve. It has been used for decorative items, inlay work, black piano keys, musical instruments, and tool handles. Several other dark, heavy woods from unrelated species are also called ebony because of their color, including cocuswood, coffeewood, blue ebony, and African blackwood.
荷蘭語....	Een harde, zware en duurzame houtsoort, afkomstig van verschillende bomen van het genus diospyros in tropisch Azië en Afrika.
西班牙語....	Madera dura, pesada y durable que se obtiene de varios árboles del género Diospyros en Asia tropical y África.
