Is it this methoxyl group / aromatic ring, release of terpins, and storage of
phosphorus that causes eucalyptus to burn in such a volatile manner? I have
been observing materials burn for some time now and it tells quite a bit on
how they would be useful as composted soil amendments. Oak, a highly
recomended wood for this RCW burns slowly as it releases its stored solar
energy, whereas a tree like eucalyptus is incredibly fast burning as are most
weeds. What is the correlation and connection as to their value of soil
restoration??????.......SStorch
