EUCALYPTUS TREE PLANTATION
[CODE NO. 1683]

Eucalyptus tree plantation is a profitable and fast-growing agro-forestry business. The tree matures in 5–7 years and provides high-quality wood used in paper, plywood, biomass and construction industries. Eucalyptus grows well in poor soils, requires minimal maintenance after the first year, and regenerates naturally after cutting. With 600–700 plants per acre, farmers can earn good income at harvest, especially when using high-yield clonal varieties. The strong demand from paper mills and timber markets ensures stable returns. Eucalyptus plantation is ideal for farmers, entrepreneurs, and landowners looking for long-term, low-cost and sustainable income.

Because   of their astonishing   growth   characterization, climatic adaptability and usefulness, Eucalyptus are increasingly being  regarded  as  an important tree  for  man's  exploitation. Several species occur naturally in the land mass of  Papua,  New guinea  and in the Ice Lands of eastern parts of  Indonesia,  the Filipinos, Australia and Astro-Malyan region.

The  genus Eucalyptus was first described and named  by  the Prench  botanist  L  Hertitier in 1788. By 1800 A.D.  about 19 species  of  Eucalyptus had been named. This increased to 28 in 1820 and 149 by 1860. In 1934 W.F.Elakely published a "Key to the Eucalyptus" in which he described 500 species and 138 varieties.

For several years, thereafter, the discussion about  ability of  Eucalyptus to hybridize continued. But, now information’s  are available   about  Eucalyptus  which  are  likely  to   hybridize continued. But,  now  information are available  about  Eucalyptus which   are   likely  to  hydridize  and  those   between   which
hybridization  is impossible. L.Hertitier into  seven  subheners. Eucalyptus  have  the  ability to colonise  bare  ground  without shelter.  Lignotubers  enable the Eucalyptuc to  survive  adverse biotic  and  climatic conditions.Eucalyptucs  plantations  occupy more than four million hectares in 58 countries.
