General Description: Lyptus is an eco-friendly hardwood hybrid, grown in the heart of what was Brazil's devastated forest lands. Derived from the cross breeding of the Eucalyptus Grandis and the Eucalyptus Urophylla, this hybrid, interspersed with reintroduced indigenous trees, was created to preserve the region's already depleted native ecosytem. Whats interesting is the tree's ability to quickly reproduce saplings from the very stump after it's first harvesting without the need for replanting. Thriving on carefully managed plantations in Brazil, this eucalyptus hybrid is harvested after about 15 years as compared to 70-80 years required by other premium hardwoods to mature. A plantation can produce four crops of Lyptus in the time it takes a mahogony tree to mature. The volume of wood produced on the Lyptus plantations is 30 times greater than that of other Brazilian forests.
