Red grandis, 

the perfect wood type!

MANUAL SORTING

Red Grandis starts its growth process through natural cloning:
By means of careful manual sorting the
branches of “parent” plants are selected; the latter are then potted and, in turn, produce another lot of small plants.

GREENHOUSE CULTIVATION

Large greenhouses are reserved for cultivating the small trees.

FINAL SELECTION

Only those plants that meet the expected
requirements are planted outside. From them we take the first branches which trigger a process of natural cloning.

1.500 hectares

a year are LOGGED

2.500 hectares

a year are REFORESTED

PRUNING

The Eucalyptus Grandis tree is pruned and its branches are cut five times, to a height of 10 m; after 20-22 years it is cut to an average height of about 50 m.

FINAL CUTTING

The trunk is cut when the tree is about 20 years old and its diameter has reached 60/70 cm.

A PERFECT ECOSYSTEM

There is no waste involved because the same amount of wood which is cultivated is logged; as a consequence the forest helps absorb the amount of carbon in the environment.
