Description and Uses
Eucalyptus tereticornis (Forest red gum) 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;
fuel, tannin, timber, apiculture, oil, . The
{missing data} is used as
inedible . The
{missing data} is used as "
{missing data} " with
{missing data} ({missing data} -

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
1,100 -
1,100 kg/m³. Regarding firewood production the
tree's growing speed is
fast, it's energetic value is
4800 ckal/kg and the wood's drying speed is
{missing data}. After
30 years the
tree can be totally removed as it reached its commercial and ecological goal.
Eucalyptus tereticornis has a lifespan of
70 years.
Environmental limitations
The tree is
44 meters tall with a crown of
17 meters wide. The
tree prefers a planting distance of
300 cm and a row distance of

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)

hermaphroditic and is pollinated by
insects.
