informational flier.
A natural hybrid of Eucalyptus grandis and E. urophylla, Lyptus®
thrives in the warm climate of Brazil, permitting harvest in
approximately 15 years as opposed to 50 to 70 years -- or up
to 100 years -- in colder regions. Lyptus is grown on highly
productive plantations, interspersed with reintroduced indigenous
trees to preserve native ecosystems. Lyptus is not a rain forest
species, and its tremendous growth values allow it to produce
30 times the volume of wood per acre, compared to unmanaged forests.
Lyptus compares favorably to hardwood maple in terms of density,
strength and technical properties, and has an appearance similar
to that of cherry and mahogany. The superior quality and remarkable
beauty of Lyptus make it the ideal hardwood for furniture, cabinets
and architectural millwork.
Showplace offers Lyptus in a versatile range of styles and finishes.
Like cherry, Lyptus darkens significantly as it ages. Lyptus
also displays a wide range of tones and grain patterns, making
it a distinctly expressive wood choice. |
