"Eucalyptus timber is best when from a much drier region or country, it is simply far too wet in the UK. When grown in right area the wood is brilliant and used in the way we use Oak and more precious timber. Brilliant for Pilings and Ships etc.,"

"Thanks Pete i did think that people maybe thought I was advocating the wholesale planting of spruce, the native conifers are much more effective as a carbon store. George, if you ever want help or to be put in the right direction let me help, as…"
