Bluegum (Eucalyptus globulus) is great firewood and burns very hot. It belongs to Myrtaceae or \u2018Eucalyptus\u2019 family which has over 800 species and is native to Australia. These are denser hardwoods and are likely to produce the highest heat of their kind.<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, this species is known for its invasive growth that some countries even have regulations for its plantation. In Africa, it is even prohibited to be planted near a water source.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Commonly, its plantations can be managed from 8-12 years period. Hence, in order to replace cut-down firewood, a new tree is planted after 2-3 cuttings from the previous plant. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This tree became the main source of eucalyptus oil, which is present in its leaves and wood. Its wood is yellowish-brown in color and takes a long time to mature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
