Description and Uses
Eucalyptus saligna (Sydney blue 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
7 -
8 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, 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
850 -
850 kg/m³. Regarding firewood production the
tree's growing speed is
fast, it's energetic value is
4000 ckal/kg and the wood's drying speed is
{missing data}. After
35 years the
tree can be totally removed as it reached its commercial and ecological goal.
Eucalyptus saligna has a lifespan of
220 years.
Environmental limitations
The tree is
50 meters tall with a crown of
22 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 saligna 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 saligna is

{missing data} and has
no thorns.
Eucalyptus saligna thrives in an altitude of
0 to
1100 meters above sea-level
(tropical). The minimum temperature is
-7°C; optimally between
8 -
24°C. The optimal rainfall is
1700
mm/year. Without irrigation the annual rainfall should be between
800 -
1800mm (L/m²). The optimal soil-pH is between
5.0 -
7.0 in a soil texture of
sand. To salt it is
a bit tolerant to wind
