Description and Uses
Eucalyptus nitens (Shining gum) is a
tropical
tree from
Southern Australia . It is mainly grown for its
timber crops
, which have a
{missing data}. 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, fuel, oil, . 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
670 -
720 kg/m³. Regarding firewood production the
tree's growing speed is
very fast, it's energetic value is
0 ckal/kg and the wood's drying speed is
{missing data}. After
14 years the
tree can be totally removed as it reached its commercial and ecological goal.
Eucalyptus nitens has a lifespan of
500 years.
Environmental limitations
The tree is
65 meters tall with a crown of
25 meters wide. The
tree prefers a planting distance of
300 cm and a row distance of
300 cm. It is
very fast growing and
intolerant to shade.
Eucalyptus nitens has a
shallow root-system and it has symbiotic associations with the
fungi
(endo and ecto mycorrhiza). It is
not able to fix nitrogen with
"any bacteria. The name(s) or string of bacteria include(s)
"not applicable ". The
tree's flower-morphology is
hermaphroditic and is pollinated by
insects.
Eucalyptus nitens is

{missing data} and has
no thorns.
Eucalyptus nitens thrives in an altitude of
600 to
1600 meters above sea-level
(tropical). The minimum temperature is
2°C; optimally between
21 -
26°C. The optimal rainfall is
1625
mm/year. Without irrigation the annual rainfall should be between
750 -
1750mm (L/m²). The optimal soil-pH is between
5.0 -
7.0 in a soil texture of
loam. To salt it is
a bit tolerant to wind
{missing data} and to fire
{missing data}.
