Beautiful flowering designer eucalypts produced in a University of Adelaide research program could be lining the streets of the US and Europe within a few years.
Based at the University’s Waite campus, the Ornamental Eucalypt Development Program (OEDP) has received $250,000 in funding from the Australian Government under its Entrepreneurs’ Programme, delivered by AusIndustry, and another $250,000 from four industry partners.
The funding will enable the Australian release of the first two selected eucalypts in 2016, continued monitoring of a trial in Spain and the establishment of four trial sites in the US, a key export market.
