Trials of Cold-tolerant Eucalypt Species in Cooler Regions of South Central China

Summary

Eucalypts are of considerable economic, social and environmental importance in southern China. ACIAR has supported collaborating forestry research between China and Australia since 1985. This report draws together the results of many trials undertaken over the past 20 years into eucalypts suited to mean annual temperatures of 15-20 degrees Celius, with absolute minima down to -8 degree C.
