Eucalyptus, also known as Eucalyptus tree, is native to Australia and is also found in neighboring Guinea, Indonesia, and the Philippines. It was introduced to many countries around the world after the 19th century.

Eucalyptus trees are forest purifiers, a favorite of koalas, and the source of the full-grade green label solid wood core.

Environmental adaptability of eucalyptus

Eucalyptus trees are extremely resilient and are a typical example of wild-growing tree species.

In Australia, where bushfires are frequent, the thick bark of eucalyptus trees can withstand the power of fire and help them recover quickly.

Eucalyptus trees have extensive root systems and extremely high transpiration rates, which allows them to survive even in arid environments.

Eucalyptus trees grow rapidly and have extremely high nutrient utilization rates. They are among the world's tallest trees, along with Norfolk Island pines and western giant sequoias. Their height also allows them to receive more sunlight.

Eucalyptus oil, found in eucalyptus leaves and branches, has insecticidal and mosquito-repellent properties, which is why eucalyptus trees are less susceptible to pests and diseases.

Based on its strong adaptability and vitality, eucalyptus has become one of the important tree species for fast-growing forests and also an important economic forest tree.

On the other hand, due to the growth characteristics of eucalyptus trees, such as liking light and heat, liking moisture and drought, eucalyptus wood is hard, has a high yield, strong nail holding power, and has the advantages of being wear-resistant, rot-resistant, and not easily deformed or warped, making it one of the most ideal raw materials for making furniture boards.

Growth and application of eucalyptus

As a recognized hardwood, eucalyptus is a good material in many fields.

For example, eucalyptus trees aged 15-20 years have fine texture, high strength, high density, good toughness, and stable internal structure, making them the best raw material for lumber. Furniture made from these trees has the characteristics of good load-bearing capacity and is not easily deformed.

Besides the inherent advantages of eucalyptus wood, the unique fresh and cool aroma emitted by eucalyptus oil can also provide an immersive experience of strolling through a forest, making one feel relaxed and comfortable.
