When using 桊, be aware that it is a more formal term and may not be recognized by all speakers in casual conversation. It is often paired with other words related to trees or wood products, like 桊木 (ash wood). Ensure you pronounce it correctly with the fourth tone to avoid confusion with other similar-sounding words.
