There was a lot of eucalyptus being grown in Ethiopia as they were fast
growing, produced a lot of poles that could be used in building, but even
more because ALL the bits were of use,
Timber for building etc, poles for scaffold etc small branches , twigs and
leaves all a great fuel for cooking owing to the oil content, and the fact
that after clear felling they grew back so no replanting.
Often coppiced the same as we do with Sweet Chestnut.
