'''''Schinopsis balansae''''' is a hardwood [[tree]] which forms forests in the subtropical [[Gran Chaco]] ecoregion of north-eastern [[Argentina]], and [[Paraguay]]. It is also found in the wild [[Pantanal]] [[vegetation]] in [[Brazil]]. Some of its common names are ''quebracho colorado chaqueño'' and ''quebracho santafesino''. Other species, like ''[[Schinopsis lorentzii]]'', bear the general name [[quebracho]] and have similar properties and uses. ''S. balansae'' shares its habitat with a species of the same [[genus]], ''S. heterophylla'', and the two are often confused.<br />
<br />
This tree can reach 24 metres in height and more than one metre in diameter. Its trunk is elegant, straight, with a brownish-gray bark. Its wood is extremely heavy ([[relative density]] = 1.2). Its main use is the extraction of quebracho extract, which is 63% pure [[tannin]].<br />
