However. as you say, they are HUGE fire hazards filling the entire area with dry sluffed off bark, their lumber is unusuable since it shrinks and cracks with drying and that cannot be remedied making the wood weak and useless. Don't tell the Austalians this, they have been using them for centuries until the modern fad for ****ty Pinus radiata in housing and everywhere else. Do you know which species they grow? I don't know anything about eucalyptus species, but the description of California eucalyptus agrees with what I've heard. .... seems they're mostly blue gum, Eucalyptus globulus: https://www.independent.com/2011/01/...me-california/ And they really do not grow faster than redwoods after a certain age. -- |
