I. INTRODUCTION
Eucalyptus is a group of tree species which meets the requirements for fuelwood, mine-poles, furniture, construction wood, pulp, export and other minor products such as tanin and essential oil. Having originated mainly from Australia, they have been introduced into many countries in Asia, Africa and America. They are also used as a major planting species in many areas from North to South Vietnam.
Eucalyptus grow rapidly in suitable sites, can easily produce natural hybrids and show a large amount of genetic variation within a population. Tree selection in such populations will provide plus trees which are superior in productivity or resistance against adverse environmental conditions.
By using the tissue culture method we are able to rapidly multiply these plus trees and maintain their superior characteristics.
