Description and Uses
Eucalyptus robusta (Swamp mahogany) is a
tropical
tree from
Northern 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, ornamental, oil, apiculture, . 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
770 -
770 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
45 years the
tree can be totally removed as it reached its commercial and ecological goal.
Eucalyptus robusta has a lifespan of
150 years.
Environmental limitations
The tree is
29 meters tall with a crown of
20 meters wide. The
tree prefers a planting distance of
600 cm and a row distance of
600 cm. It is
very fast growing and
intolerant to shade.

shallow root-system and it has symbiotic associations with the
fungi
(endo and ecto mycorrhiza). It is
not able to fix nitrogen with
