Botanical name: Eucalyptus saligna
Eucalyptus saligna also known as the Blue Gum is a straight-growing tree commonly found in the Kenyan highlands, including Uasin Gishu, Kisii, and Kakamega, Limuru, at altitudes of 1,400–2,200 meters above sea level, or even higher. Perfect for Kenya’s Central region and areas that have frost or cold temperatures.
It is an excellent source of transmission poles, industrial wood fuel, construction wood, and pulpwood. It is also used for furniture, poles, and posts.
The tree can grow up to 50 meters tall just like the E.grandis. For best results, plant during the rainy season (March–May) with a spacing of 2.5 × 2.5 meters and add 30 gsm of NPK 17-17-17 per each tree seedling.
A commonly grown sub species, the E. saligna’s heart wood is reddish, making it ideal for commercial use.
