Suited to 600mm plus rainfall. Require soils deeper than 2m. Sensitive to drought. Moderately waterlogging tolerant. Will not tolerate salinity but has a high tolerance of acid soils

 | Blue gums. Soil Guide, a handbook for understanding and managing agricultural soils. (Harper, R., Smettem, K. and Bartle, J.) | 1998 | Blue gums generally require >600mm of rainfall and are sensitive to droughting out, particularly in marginal areas. They are tolerant of short (<2-3 months) periods of waterlogging, though prolonged periods can lead to mortality. They require >2m of soil depth and will not tolerate salinity but have a high tolerance to acid soils. |

| Woolbelt options for high water use (Baxter, A. and O Neill, C.) | 1997 | Farmnote which is part of the Farmer to farmer - Landcare case studies series. In 1990 the Souths began planting Tasmanian bluegums (Eucalyptus globulus) in the valleys of their farm north west of Darkan in the 600mm rainfall zone in south west Western Australia. Entering into a share farming agreement with Conservation and Land Management (CALM), they initially planted 50 ha of bluegums. These were planted at the rate of 1000/ha with 2.5 m between the seedlings and 4 m between the rows. |
