Out with the family today at a eucalyptus nitens plantation today (I take them to all the best places!). It's actually a good laugh with the kids as they love the peeling bark and the ground is dry too.

 

Anyway, this is the largest of the trees in the block. It's 47.5cm dbh at 10 years, 7 months. Around 25m tall too. The rest of the block averages that height and about 26-27cm dbh, but that includes loads of subdominant trees. Once thinned out, all the main crop trees will be 30cm plus. At 10 years old!!

Fvvk. Thats absurd growth.   K

There are 4.5 hectares of the stuff too! Standing at almost 500/t per hectare at the moment. 

 

It's the density at which is grows too. Clumps of 10-20 trees where they are all over 1/2t each. There are loads and loads of 1t plus trees in there. Some of the twin stems nudging 2t.

 

This is a stand that didn't establish well either as it was planted in May 2010 and got mullered by the 10/11 winter.
