Policy and Administration

Eucalyptus globulus was discovered in 1792 by French explorers on the island of Tasmania, Australia. It was rapidly spread throughout the world in the 19th century and it was the species by which much of the world first knew the genus. Eucalyptus globulus is now amongst the most widely planted forest tree species in the world due to its fast growth and superior pulp qualities. Formal breeding commenced in 1965 in Portugal and in the late 1980s large base population trials from native stand seed collections were established in many countries. These trials have provided unprecedented insights into the quantitative genetic control of numerous traits and how these traits genetically vary across the native range of the species. In addition, with the rapidly expanding knowledge of DNA sequence variation, we are now at the threshold of a new understanding of the genetic architecture of this important eucalypt gene pool.
