Great information guys - just wanted to check, has anyone sold these eucalyptus trees in bulk for timber and how much can i hope to make from one acre of mature eucalyptus trees in this manner? Is there a likelihood that the market is getting flooded?

I have someone offering me a few acres that are packed with these trees at a bargain price.

@ Lolest. Thanks alot.The more trees you buy, the higher the discount you can bargain. I bought the 4800 trees at 25/- per tree. I dont need to establish customers at this point yet; when the trees are mature l will establish a base on some 1/8 of an acre in Kitengela l have; and employ a few guys to walk around construction sites and have the trees hired. The rate lately is 80/- per tree per month (it takes 28 days for a slab to cure). Any delays on the developer is charged at 10/- per day. Minimum spacing for the trees next to the boundary of your plot is 2m; minimum space for the rest is 1m. The 2m is given so the branches dont cross over into your neighbours plot.

@bwenyenye. I just called their office and booked an appointment. For the three visits l made their, l kept getting different officers; so l didnt particularly take anyone's number. Their office line is 0722157414.

I have a buddy doing this with 3000 poles; and rakes in 200k a month around ngong area. His second crop is nearly maturing. Hope the above info is of help to you folks!

@Barrywhite...How are your trees doing? Any that dried up...Lessons etc...Please share!
