Growing Eucalyptus for firewood.


Recommended Posts

I see an add in this months Forestry Journal about buying and planting eucalyptus for firewood which could be harvested in about eight to ten years. Not had much experience with burning it but I knows it's heavy. If I had twenty acres planted up do you think I could sustainably harvest it? Has anyone grown euc on a large scale?

What about southern beech ,we were looking at a load that had been planed on an estate and they were well ahead of all the other trees planted at the same time .

 

One Estate I worked on used to plant a lot of southern beech - it does grow fast but it doesn't like the wind. We used to end up clearing loads of blown ones but to be fair it was nicely processor sized when it blew. Gairly hairy branch wise though so not the nicest stuff to do a lot of.
