	Eucalyptus regnans - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Eucalyptus regnans (Mountain Ash, Victorian Ash, or Stringy Gum) is a species of Eucalyptus native to southeastern Australia, in Tasmania and Victoria.
		Eucalyptus regnans is the tallest of all flowering plants, and possibly once the tallest of all plants.
		Eucalyptus regnans is valued for its timber, not so much because of any particular virtue of the timber itself (it is a heavy, fine-grained eucalyptus hardwood much like several others), but because of the sheer volume that can be harvested.

	Eucalyptus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Eucalyptus is a diverse genus of trees (rarely shrubs), the members of which dominate the tree flora of Australia.
		Eucalyptus oil is highly flammable (trees have been known to explode) and bush fires can travel easily through the oil-rich air of the tree crowns.
		Eucalyptus oil is readily steam distilled from the leaves and can be used for cleaning, deodorising, and in very small quantities in food supplements; especially sweets, cough drops and decongestants.

		Eucalyptus is a diverse genus of tree, the members of which dominate the flora of Australia.
		Eucalyptus oil is fearsomely toxic in excessive quantities, but several of the marsupial herbivores, notably Koalas and some possums are immune to it.
		Eucalyptus oil is highly flammable and bush fires can travel through the oil-rich air of the tree crowns with an explosive power that firefighters can do little about.

		The tallest trees are found in the species Eucalyptus regnans (a tree being 132 m tall was cut out in 1878).
		The eucalyptus appear naturally on a large variety of substrata, although poor soils predominate, bereft of clay and bases because of an ancient leaching with short retention of water.
		Eucalyptus have a bad tolerance of nearby trees to compete for soil and sunlight.

		The only competitor Eucalyptus regnans has for height is a conifer, the coastal redwood (Sequoia sempervirens) of the western United States of America.
		Eucalyptus regnans is found naturally-growing in pure, close, stands in moist forests of particular mountains and valleys of the states of Victoria and Tasmania, in south-eastern Australia.
		Often, in the Eucalyptus regnans forests, a prominent understorey plant is Dicksonia antarctica (soft tree-fern).

		Eucalyptus trees are indeed incredible, not only for their sheer magnificence but also for their many uses, which extend from medicine to perfume to erosion control.
		Virtually all eucalyptus trees are exceptionally fast growing, with many of the species attaining incredible heights.
		Eucalyptus regnans, for instance, can grow to 325 feet with a 25-foot girth.

	IFA - Forestry Abstract
		The main theme of this thesis includes two aspects: (1) the biomass, growth, productivity and nutrient cycling in the regenerating Eucalyptus regnans F. Muell (Mountain Ash) forest at Britannia Creek after fire, and (2) to test the hypothesis that nutrient losses due to fire might lead to decline in stand productivity.
		regnans is a fire-climax species, and seedlings regenerate in profusion after fire.
		The E. regnans forest at Britannia creek is therefore not limited by N or P or any other essential nutrients, and losses of nutrients due to fire have not resulted in a decline in productivity of the subsequent forest.

	Eucalyptus regnans
		Although the records are problematic and sometimes confusing, it appears that several examples of Douglas fir have been logged that exceeded the height of the tallest redwoods.
		However, with the logging of the mainland forests in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, the tallest remaining trees are now found on the island of Tasmania.
		The largest, but not the tallest, Eucalyptus (a tree known as El Grande), and the largest flowering plant on Earth, was accidently killed in 2003 by Forestry Tasmania officials who were conducting a controlled burn for a timber harvest operation.

		The Mountain Ash (Eucalyptus regnans) of southern Australia is the tallest of all flowering plants.
		Very few natural stands of Mountain Ash remain, but substantial areas of regrowth exist, and it is sometimes grown in plantations.
		regnans as a species is secure, political opposition to logging it has grown very strong in recent years (particularly in the case of woodchipping), and the extent of future harvesting remains uncertain.
