eucalyptus grandis x camaldulensis

The dispersion of the genus Eucalyptus in nature is by seeds. Nevertheless, the interest from breeders to reproduce outstanding trees by cuttings encourages the development and adjustment of techniques for agamic (asexual) propagation. These techniques may be classified as in vitro and in vivo, according to the environment in which they take place. While in vivo stem cuttings are widely employed in Eucalyptus mass propagation, in vitro techniques are yet to be used widely.

Cuttings play an important role in tree improvement because they capture desirable genes without recombination, as occurs in seed production. The access to clonal culture enhances the possibility of hybrids. Eucalypus hybrids have the attractiveness of combining two features in a single individual, each one contributed by one of the parental species. Explorative inter-specific control crosses have been largely undertaken and some combinations of tropical species come up as core genetic material in plantations at commercial scale. The eucalyptus grandis x camaldulensis hybrid captures the ability of the species to grow in wet areas, with form and strength.
