Description and Uses
Eucalyptus urophylla (Timor white gum) is a
tropical
tree from
Malaysia & Indonesia . It is mainly grown for its
timber crops
, which have a
no shelf life. The crop is harvested by
total removing. It starts flowering after
0 -
0 years. The yield will be
{missing data}, but in its top season there will be a yield of
{missing data}. Other crop types include;
timber, fuel, oil, tannin, . The
{missing data} is used as
inedible . The

tree's wood is called
{missing data} and has a density of
650 -
850 kg/m³. Regarding firewood production the
tree's growing speed is
fast, it's energetic value is
4500 ckal/kg and the wood's drying speed is
{missing data}. After
25 years the
tree can be totally removed as it reached its commercial and ecological goal.
Eucalyptus urophylla has a lifespan of
80 years.
Environmental limitations
The tree is
42 meters tall with a crown of
