BARGAS

Scientific Name: Eucalyptus deglupta Blume

Family Name: Myrtaceae

Facts:

Around the world most E. deglupta plantations are meant for pulp production. The wood makes a strong sulphate pulp that can be bleached to a high brightness.

Bagras is used to a limited extent for firewood and charcoal. However, it is normally considered too valuable for firewood. Trees more than 15 years old yield good charcoal.

The aromatic oils of Bagras have been characterized but they occur in such small quantities (0.2% in the leaves) that they are not of commercial importance.
