Description & usesتفصیل اور استعمال

A hardy river red gum subspecies from the Australian bush, one of the fastest-growing timber trees suited to saline and waterlogged canal-side and riverine land across Pakistan.

آسٹریلوی بش کی ایک مضبوط ریور ریڈ گم ذیلی نسل، تیزی سے بڑھنے والے لکڑی کے درختوں میں سے ایک جو پاکستان بھر کی کھاری اور جل تھل نہری اور دریائی زمین کے لیے موزوں ہے۔

Propagation Methodافزائش کا طریقہ

Propagated from seed, raised in nursery bags before transplanting. Among the easiest eucalypts to raise from seed.

نرسری بیگز میں بیج سے تیار کیا جاتا ہے، پھر منتقل کیا جاتا ہے۔

Planting Densityکاشت کی کثافت

Canal-side / boundary row: 2×2m spacing (approx. 1,000 plants/acre). Block plantation for timber: 2.5×2.5m spacing (approx. 650–700 plants/acre).

نہری قطار: تقریباً 1,000 پودے فی ایکڑ۔

Wood / Fuelwood Yieldلکڑی / ایندھن کی پیداوار

One of the fastest timber yields in the catalog — usable poles from year 4–5; mature stand can yield an estimated 20–25 tonnes/acre of wood at 8–10 year rotation, site-dependent.

کیٹلاگ میں سب سے تیز لکڑی کی پیداوار؛ سال 4 سے 5 میں قابل استعمال کھمبے ملتے ہیں۔

Time to Productionپیداوار کا وقت

Usable poles/fuelwood from year 4–5; full timber rotation at 8–10 years; can be coppiced for repeat harvests from the same root stock.

سال 4 سے 5 میں قابل استعمال کھمبے اور ایندھن کی لکڑی۔

Growing & Care — Stage by Stageکاشت اور دیکھ بھال — مرحلہ وار

From sowing the seed through to when the plant starts producing, here's what to expect at each stage.بیج بونے سے لے کر پیداوار شروع ہونے تک، ہر مرحلے میں کیا توقع رکھیں۔

Seed Sowingبیج بونا

Sow fine seed onto the surface of nursery bags filled with well-drained potting mix, barely covered. Keep moist and shaded initially.

باریک بیج نرسری بیگز میں سطح پر بوئیں، ہلکا ڈھانپیں۔

Germination & Growing Monthsاگاؤ اور نشوونما کے مہینے

Germinates in 6–12 days — among the fastest in the catalog. Nursery period of 3–4 months before reaching transplant size (30–40cm).

6 سے 12 دن میں اگتا ہے، 3 سے 4 ماہ نرسری میں رکھیں۔

Transplantationمنتقلی

Transplant at the start of the monsoon or when regular irrigation is assured, ideally along canal banks or field edges with reliable moisture.

مون سون کے آغاز پر یا جب آبپاشی یقینی ہو تو نہری کناروں پر منتقل کریں۔

Soil & Water Requirementمٹی اور پانی کی ضرورت

Thrives on riverine, canal-side and seasonally waterlogged land; tolerates moderate salinity. Needs consistent moisture through establishment; performs best with access to a shallow water table or regular irrigation.

دریائی اور نہری زمین پر بہترین نشوونما؛ معتدل کھاری پن برداشت کرتا ہے۔

Fertilizer Requirementکھاد کی ضرورت

A starter dose of DAP at transplanting improves early growth; established trees generally need no routine fertilizer if soil moisture is adequate.

بوقت منتقلی ڈی اے پی کی ابتدائی خوراک نشوونما بہتر بناتی ہے۔

Cutting, Grazing & Carry Methodکٹائی، چرائی اور ڈھلائی کا طریقہ

Grown for timber, poles and fuelwood, not grazed. Coppices vigorously after cutting — harvest on an 8–10 year rotation and allow regrowth from the stump for the next cycle.

لکڑی، کھمبوں اور ایندھن کے لیے اگایا جاتا ہے، کٹائی کے بعد دوبارہ اچھی طرح اگتا ہے۔

When It Starts Producing Seedبیج پیدا کرنے کا وقت

Begins producing viable seed capsules from around year 3–4, with reliable seed crops annually thereafter.

سال 3 سے 4 میں قابل استعمال بیج کیپسول بننا شروع ہوتے ہیں۔
