Common Uses:
Did you know? This species, like many eucalypts, has developed a remarkable ability to recover from damage through a process known as "coppicing." After a disturbance, such as fire or physical damage, Eucalyptus radiata can sprout new growth from its lignotuber—a large woody swelling of the root crown. This adaptation not only enables the tree to survive in the harsh and fire-prone Australian environment but also allows it to regenerate quickly after being cut down or burned.
Suggested Storage: Stored at temperature <30°C in closed containers and protected from direct sunlight.
