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 texture : light, medium, heavy. Soil drainage : Free, seasonally waterlogged. Soil reaction : acidic, neutral. Special soil tolerances : saline. 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,P-316.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 thatspeciescan be divided into.As a generalisation "foresttrees" are single-stemmed and have acrownforming a minor proportion of the whole tree height. "Woodlandtrees" are single-stemmed although they may branch at a short distance above ground level."Mallees" are multi-stemmed from ground level, usually less than 10m (33ft) 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 low-growing as to be considered ashrub.Two other tree forms are notable inWestern Australiaand described using the native names "mallet" and "marlock". The "mallet" is a small to medium-sized tree that does not producelignotubersand has a relatively long trunk, a steeply branching habit and often a conspicuously denseterminal crown. This is the normal habit of mature healthy specimens ofEucalyptus occidentalis,E. astringens,E. spathulata,E. gardneri,E. dielsii,E. forrestiana,E. salubris,E. clivicolaandE. ornata. The smoothbarkof mallets often has a satiny sheen and may be white, cream, grey, green or copper.The termmarlockhas been variously used; inForest Trees of Australiait is defined as a small tree withoutlignotubersbut with a shorter, lower-branching trunk than a mallet. They usually grow in more or less pure stands. Clearly recognisable examples are stands ofE. platypus,E. vesiculosaand the unrelatedE. stoatei.The term "morrell" is somewhat obscure in origin and appears to apply to trees of the western Australian wheatbelt andgoldfieldswhich have a long, straight trunk, completely rough-barked. It is now used mainly forE. longicornis(Red Morrell) andE. melanoxylon(Black Morrell).Tree sizes follow theconventionof: Small to 10m (33ft) in height Medium-sized 1030m (3398ft) Tall 3060m (98200ft) Very tall over 60m (200ft) Eucalyptus/juklpts/[2]L'Heritier 1789[3]is a diversegenusoffloweringtreesand shrubs (including a distinct group with a multiple-stemmalleegrowth habit) in themyrtlefamily,Myrtaceae. Members of the genus dominate the tree flora ofAustralia. There are more than 700 species of eucalyptus, mostly native to Australia, and a very small number are found in adjacent areas ofNew GuineaandIndonesiaand one,Eucalyptus deglupta,ranges north to thePhilippines. 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 theAmericas,Europe,Africa, theMediterranean Basin, theMiddle East,Chinaand theIndian Subcontinent, though most species do not tolerate frost. Eucalyptusis one of three similargenerathat are commonly referred to as "eucalypts", the others beingCorymbiaandAngophora. Many species, but far from all, are known asgum treesbecause they exude copioussapfrom any break in thebark(e.g.scribbly gum). The generic name is derived from theGreekwords (eu) "well" and (kalyptos) "covered", referring to theoperculumon thecalyxthat initially conceals theflower.[4] Some eucalyptus species have attracted attention from horticulturists,global developmentresearchers and environmentalists because of desirable traits such as being fast-growing sources of wood, producingoilthat can be used for cleaning and as a naturalinsecticide, or an ability to be used todrainswampsand thereby reduce the risk ofmalaria. Outside their natural ranges, eucalypts are both lauded for their beneficial economic impact on poor populations[5][6]:22and criticised for being "invasivewater-suckers",[7]leading to controversy over their total impact.[8] On warm days eucalyptus forests are sometimes shrouded in asmog-like mist of vaporisedvolatile organic compounds(terpenoids); the AustralianBlue Mountainstake their name from the haze.
