Botanical Name: Eucalyptus grandis and E. urophylla
 What's the wood like?
Lyptus compares favorably to maple in terms of density, strength and technical properties; arguably has similar appearance to that of cherry and/or mahogany. Lyptus, though, holds its own as a good furniture wood. Developed for quick harvesting, and grown on plantations in Brazil, Lyptus is marketed as an environmentally responsible timber since it's plantation grown.  How's the color?
Pale pink to tan  Does it go by other names?
(no other names known)  What could I use it for?
Furniture, flooring, stairs, mantles, interior trim, cabinetry, turnings,  What is the tree like?
Plantation grown and harvested between 14 and 16 years; carefully pruned and yield tall, straight boles largely free of branches
Brazil (plantations)
