Abstract: The results of a study on comparing 19 eucalypt species/provenances introduced in hilly land of south Fujian showed that Eucalyptus urophylla × E. grandis, E. grandis × E. urophylla and Kwangsi Timor belong to high yielding species. The annual mean stand volume of these species reached 35.3~53.3 m3·hm-2 in average. Planted on hilly land, they showed the following characters: strong adaptability, straight and well developed stem, low differentiation, tidy forest form and high productivity. It is proved that these tree species are of optimal species to meet the demand for shortrotation industrial raw material in south Fujian, and is worth to be introduced and planted widely.
