A trial comprising 10 provenances of Eucalyptus nitens and 4 related species - E. globulus, E. maidenii, E. bicostata and E. viminalis - was established in July 1986. Local seedlots of E. globulus and E. maidenii were included as controls. Four-year results indicate that there were significant differences between species and between provenances in growth of height, diameter and volume. The E. nitens provenance from Federation Range (12401) had the highest growth rate while the provenance from Marshalls Spur (15015) had the lowest. The volume of provenance 12401 was 2.5 times larger than 15015. At age 4, the volume of E. nitens was 23 percent and 45 percent larger than that of local E. globulus and local E. maidenii respectively. Bioclimatic analysis shows that E. nitens appears to have great potential in limited areas of south-central Jiangxi and Hunan Province as well as southern Jiangsu and northern Zhejiang Province.
