Description
Introduction Eucalyptus globulus Labill., also commonly known as blue gum, is a forest tree occurring naturally in Tasmania, Victoria and New South Wales (NSW), Australia (Brooker and Kleinig 2006). It was one of the first eucalypt species to be both validly named and brought into cultivation within Australia and overseas. The species is planted widely in southern Australia, Portugal, Spain, Chile and the equatorial highlands of Africa and Latin America for a range of uses including firewood, pulpwood and timber (Eldridge et al. 1993). Eucalyptus globulus was amalgamated with three closely related species by Kirkpatrick (1975) and the sub-species globulus, maidenii, bicostata and pseudoglobulus recognised, with extensive intergrade zones between them. Eucalyptus globulus ssp. globulus is the most widely planted of the four subspecies (Eldridge et al. 1993). In this paper we follow Brooker and Kleinig (2006) in preferring to use the name E. globulus rather than E. globulus ssp. globulus.
