description Eucalyptus deglupta BI is one of the very few eucalypts which occurs naturally in the humid tropics. Presently the species is receiving much attention, particularly in Asia and Africa, where it is regarded very promising because of its rapid growth and wood properties. Plantation trials have also been established in Central and South America but only on a limited scale. It is felt that this species should be tried more extensively in the humid tropics of Latin America. The species is apparently relatively flexible in respect to precipitation requirements although it does not well in dry areas. It needs a permeable soil but not necessarily a very fertile one. Termites and fungi deserve attention as a possible cause of problems in plantations. The specific gravity of the world of E. deglupta has a wide range (0.39 - 1.01 gr/cm3) and apparently increases with age. The wood is considered suitable for many purposes such as heavy constructions, general purpose building timber, boat planking and decking, furniture, foinery, pulpwood, and possibly plywood. It is easy to work if not quarter-sawn, seasons well and takes a high finish
