Description and Uses
Eucalyptus grandis (Rose gum) is a
tropical
tree from
Southern Australia . It is mainly grown for its
fuel crops
, which have a
medium shelf life. The crop is harvested by
total removing. It starts flowering after
0 -
0 years. The yield will be
{missing data}, but in its top season there will be a yield of
{missing data}. Other crop types include;
timber, poles for construction, . The
{missing data} is used as
inedible . The
{missing data} is used as "
{missing data} " with
{missing data} ({missing data} -
{missing data}) as its significant
phytochemical. There is
{missing data} extracted by
{missing data} from the
tree's
{missing data} yielding
{missing data} -
{missing data} oil. The
tree's wood is called
{missing data} and has a density of
0 -
0 kg/m³. Regarding firewood production the
tree's growing speed is
fast, it's energetic value is
0 ckal/kg and the wood's drying speed is
{missing data}. After
8 years the
tree can be totally removed as it reached its commercial and ecological goal.
Eucalyptus grandis has a lifespan of
90 years.
Environmental limitations
