Evaluation of Wood Quality Parameters of Plantation Grown Eucalyptus Citriodora Hook (Lemon Scented Gum)

Based on tests conducted on small clear specimens of timber, the physical and mechanical properties of E. citriodora are reported and discussed. The safe working stresses and suitable indices have also been evaluated and compared with those of Tectona grandis. Based on suitability coefficients, E. citriodora has been recommended for utilization for several end uses.
