Termite-resistant hardwood (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

teak

(Other definitions for teak that I've seen before include "Take to the hardwood" , "Quality timber" , "Heavy wood of a tall evergreen Asian tree" , "Type of tree" , "Hardwood found naturally in the Far East" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
