Management and Performance of Eucalyptus camaldulensis in the Murewa and Mutoko Districts of ZimbabweBACKGROUNDZimbabwe’s afforestation program has used Eucalyptus trees because of their fast growth rate and their ability to adapt to different environmental conditions. These trees are grown to provide fuelwood and to curb deforestation. However, the afforestation program had poor results. Hence, there was a need to examine causes of poor performance to justify why the program still needs expansion. Open access copy available |
