Eucalyptus Info:Eucalyptus belongs to the family Myrtaceae with about 300 species of the

genus. The species is one of the fastest growing trees in the world and many
species attain great heights. Eucalyptus amygdalin is the tallest known tree
with specimens attaining a height of as much as 480 feet. Eucalyptus is an
excellent industrial species, providing timber for poles, pulp and fuelwood, it
cannot be used as fodder plant and provide other non-timber uses, limiting its
role as a social forestry tree. Eucalyptus is a fast growing, medium- sized to tall
tree attaining 20-50m in height and upto 2m in diameter. The tree has a deep
tap root system with mycorrhizal associations which increases its ability to
draw nutrients and water. The tree has a smooth silvery white stem.

Soil and Physiography :

Soil types : alluvial soils, gravely soils, ferral soils, red soils, sandy soils .

Clonal Safeda:Clonal Safeda Now Days play a vital role in Timber and Paperwood Indistries. It
is one of the fastest Growing Trees in the world and attain a great heights.The
most important feature of clonal safeda is that it grow in straight direction
without any bend in either direction. After Attaining some height its
stem/Branches automatically fall on the ground.there is no need of cutting or
Prunning of Branches.Clonal Safeda is self pruning Tree. Parteek Biotech
Provide to all the farmers with best clone Like P-413,P-288,P-2070,P-2135,P316.In One Year Clonal Safeda Attain a maximum height of 15-20 Ft. In one
Acre farmer can planted the 888 plants after 3 year Farmer Should cut the 50%
plants for Bulli Purpose and remaining plants should cut after 6 year for
Timber Purpose or More U can See pictures of clonal safeda in Gallary
Column.In One Tray There is only capacity of 40 Plants.

General Sadefa:-

As all of u know that General Safeda Is Planted on Govt Road.General Safeda is

Prepared by seed.After sowing seed on the bed then it is transplanted to Small
Polyprene(PP).Then After Attaing 4-5 Ft It is used by Farmers.There Is not self
prunining.

Commercial uses of Eucalyptus :

Eucalyptus is one of the fastest growing trees and is an excellent timber for paper and
pulp, particleboard and hardboard industries.
It is also an excellent source of fuelwood and charcoal.
Eucalyptus wood is also used for light and heavy construction, railway sleepers, bridges,
piles, poles and mining timber.
Indian Standards are available for use of E. tereticornis timber, after treatment, for door
frames, window shutters, furniture, cabinet, tool handles, packing cases and crates.
Leaf extracts of the species have pesticidal properties and can be promoted as a
biopesticide.
The leaves of the species are rich in essential oils, that have many medicinal uses.
Eucalyptus globulus can be raised commercially for Eucalyptus oil.
E. tereticornis is a major source of pollen in apiculture and produces a medium amber
honey of distinctive flavour.
The wood and bark of the tree have a tannin content of 6-12% and 3-15% respectively,
though not used as a commercial source of tannin.
Eucalyptus is a large ornamental tree suitable for parks and avenue plantations.
The tree may be used as an agro-forestry species. Eucalyptus in combination with
pineapple have given excellent results in China.
The tree species can be effectively used for regeneration of denuded lands and prevention
of soil erosions in drought -affected areas

Size and habit[edit]

A mature eucalyptus may take the form of a low shrub or a very large tree. There are three
main habits and four size categories that species can be divided into.
As a generalisation "forest trees" are single-stemmed and have a crown forming a minor
proportion of the whole tree height. "Woodland trees" are single-stemmed although they may
branch at a short distance above ground level.
"Mallees" are multi-stemmed from ground level, usually less than 10 m (33 ft) in height, often
with the crown predominantly at the ends of the branchlets and individual plants may
combine to form either an open or closed formation. Many mallee trees may be so lowgrowing as to be considered a shrub.
Two other tree forms are notable in Western Australia and described using the native names
"mallet" and "marlock". The "mallet" is a small to medium-sized tree that does not
produce lignotubers and has a relatively long trunk, a steeply branching habit and often a
conspicuously dense terminal crown. This is the normal habit of mature healthy specimens
of Eucalyptus occidentalis, E. astringens, E. spathulata, E. gardneri, E. dielsii, E.
forrestiana, E. salubris, E. clivicola and E. ornata. The smooth bark of mallets often has a
satiny sheen and may be white, cream, grey, green or copper.
The term marlock has been variously used; in Forest Trees of Australia it is defined as a
small tree without lignotubers but with a shorter, lower-branching trunk than a mallet. They
usually grow in more or less pure stands. Clearly recognisable examples are stands of E.
platypus, E. vesiculosa and the unrelated E. stoatei.
The term "morrell" is somewhat obscure in origin and appears to apply to trees of the
western Australian wheatbelt andgoldfields which have a long, straight trunk, completely
rough-barked. It is now used mainly for E. longicornis (Red Morrell) andE.
melanoxylon (Black Morrell).
Tree sizes follow the convention of:

Small to 10 m (33 ft) in height

Medium-sized 1030 m (3398 ft)

Tall 3060 m (98200 ft)

Very tall over 60 m (200 ft)

Eucalyptus /juklpts/[2] L'Heritier 1789 [3] is a

diverse genus of flowering trees and shrubs (including a distinct group with a
multiple-stem malleegrowth habit) in the myrtle family, Myrtaceae. Members of the
genus dominate the tree flora of Australia. There are more than 700 species of
eucalyptus, mostly native to Australia, and a very small number are found in adjacent
areas of New Guinea and Indonesia and one, Eucalyptus deglupta, ranges north to
the Philippines. Only fifteen species occur outside Australia, with just nine of these

not occurring in Australia. Species of eucalyptus are cultivated widely in the tropical
and temperate world, including the Americas, Europe, Africa, the Mediterranean
Basin, the Middle East, China and theIndian Subcontinent, though most species do
not tolerate frost.

Eucalyptus is one of three similar genera that are commonly referred to as

"eucalypts", the others being Corymbia and Angophora. Many species, but far from
all, are known as gum trees because they exude copious sap from any break in
the bark (e.g. scribbly gum). The generic name is derived from the Greek words
(eu) "well" and (kalyptos) "covered", referring to the operculum on
the calyx that initially conceals the flower.[4]

Some eucalyptus species have attracted attention from horticulturists, global

development researchers and environmentalists because of desirable traits such as
being fast-growing sources of wood, producing oil that can be used for cleaning and
as a natural insecticide, or an ability to be used to drainswamps and thereby reduce
the risk of malaria. Outside their natural ranges, eucalypts are both lauded for their
beneficial economic impact on poor populations[5][6]:22 and criticised for being
"invasive water-suckers",[7] leading to controversy over their total impact.[8]

On warm days eucalyptus forests are sometimes shrouded in a smog-like mist of

vaporised volatile organic compounds (terpenoids); the Australian Blue
Mountains take their name from the haze.
