Eucalyptus is a genus of more than 500 species, and it has become the most planted genus of trees in the world (Demel 2000). The major planting of this tree species, outside its home environment, was started in 1904 in Brazil. Eucalyptus is native to Australia, the Malaysian region and the Philippines. Today euca lyptus plantations cover at least 12 million hectares throughout the tropical zone, 90 percent of which has been established since 1955 (Turnbull 1999). This species was introduced to East Africa between late 19th and early 20th century. Already in the early 1970s, the area covered by eucalyptus in Ethiopia, Rwanda, Uganda, Kenya and Sudan reached 95684 ha (FAO 1979). The largest plantations during the same time existed in Ethiopia and Rwanda, with 42,300 and 23,000 ha, respectively. -
