About This Book
A forester reflects on twenty years cultivating eucalyptus and acacia, arguing that systematic tree planting can meet rising timber demand and yield high economic returns. He surveys species characteristics and adaptability, compares wood quality and growth rates, and recounts successes and failures across sites and soils. Practical guidance covers nursery practices, site selection, planting, and long-term management while warning against uncritical adoption of exotic varieties. Historical notes and economic context frame recommendations for smallholders and policymakers seeking durable, profitable forest culture.
