Introduction
My masters degree (forestry science, University of Canterbury, New Zealand) research thesis is on the economics of growing and processing pruned Eucalyptus nitens (shining gum) for solid timber. I examined sawn recoveries, grade recoveries, processing costs and product prices (particularly solid timber flooring).

Since its accidental introduction into New Zealand in 1916, the invasive eucalypt leaf beetle Paropsis charybdis remains a pest of economic significance to Eucalyptus forestry. For this reason, the braconid parasitoid Eadya daenerys has been approved for release as a classical biological control agent. To aid in field monitoring using hand netting...
Background: While poplar (Populus spp.) is an important source of raw materials for the wood processing sector in many regions of the world, in New Zealand it has a reputation for producing poor grade recoveries of sawn timber that is unsuitable for structural applications. However, the ‘Kawa’ poplar clone (Populus deltoides Marshall x P. yunnanens...
This case study investigated profitability of a small stand of fast-grown Eucalyptus nitens in Canterbury for sawn timber production. This stand was pruned and thinned and then harvested at 15 years old. An estimate of per-hectare log yields and diameters was made from the stand. Sample logs were sawn, dried and profiled, then products quantified....
Despite considerable efforts the eucalyptus tortoise beetle Paropsis charybdis continues to defoliate Eucalyptus nitens plantations throughout New Zealand preventing expansion of this forest resource or requiring constant management through aerial insecticide application A parasitoid wasp of the springtime larval stage of the eucalyptus leaf beetle...
Future Forests Research Ltd., and New Zealand (NZ) Farm Forestry Association have jointly undertaken a study to explore the prospects and possibilities of plantation eucalypt forestry. The study is based on sawn timber recoveries from smaller-diameter logs using a novel sawmilling technique and a woodmizer portable sawmill. The economic analysis pr...
