Which tree species is the most iconic for producing paper?
Quick Answer
Fast-growing eucalyptus species are among the most important trees for paper production. They are widely planted in managed forests for pulp.
The Full Story
Eucalyptus trees, especially species such as Eucalyptus globulus, are widely grown for pulpwood because they grow well in plantations and provide fibers suitable for paper. Their rapid growth and adaptability make them economically important in many countries. They are not the only paper trees, but they are among the most iconic modern plantation species associated with paper production. Large-scale forestry uses them because they can supply wood on shorter rotations than many native hardwoods.
