Adaptability of some Eucalyptus species in southwest Oregon

Abstract

Professional and official attitudes and reports discourage the use of exotics in the North-west. Not only will the small woodland owner fail to make a reasonable return on his investment in growing native trees, he may not live long enough to harvest a crop. Short rotation alternatives are sought by using certain species of Eucalypts. Adaptability of such species is sought by out-planting plots in Douglas County. Considerable data has been accumulated on cold tolerance, survival, juvenile growth and deer damage to the species planted. Certain species appear to be adapted in southwest Oregon.
