Abstract

Plant Biology

hardwood plantation

Cadagi

Corymbia torelliana

Cadagi's (Corymbia torelliana) natural distribution is restricted to the rainforest margins in North Queensland between Ingham and Cooktown, however, it has been widely planted as an ornamental and in amenity plantings, particularly in southeast Queensland. Hybrids with spotted gum taxa show great potential for hardwood plantation forestry in northern Australia, particularly in marginal rainfall areas.
