Abstract

Eucalyptus globulus ssp. globulus, E. viminalis, E. grandis, and E. camaldulensis were selected as the species of interest in California. Yield data for these species from around the world indicate that wide variation can be expected among species, provenances, sites, and management systems. Large gains in yield can be achieved by careful selection within this wide variation to suit California conditions. Growth characteristics of the eucalypts and distribution of the more important plantation species around the world were also reviewed.
