PIP ABOVE EUCALYPTUS (POSSIBLY OF THE SPECIES E. OBLIQUA) IS THOUGHT TO HAVE BEEN FIRST INTRODUCED INTO PORTUGAL AROUND 1829 (IN VILA NOVA DE GAIA), ALTHOUGH IT IS NOT KNOWN FOR CERTAIN WHEN THE EUCALYPTUS GLOBULUS, WHICH IS THE MOST COMMON SPECIES IN THE COUNTRY TODAY, ARRIVED. WHAT IS CERTAIN IS THAT AT THE BEGINNING OF THE SECOND HALF OF THE 19TH CENTURY, THE SPECIES E. GLOBULUS BEGAN TO BE PLANTED AS A SOURCE OF WOOD FOR FUEL AND CONSTRUCTION. THE EXCELLENT FORESTRY CHARACTERISTICS, SUCH AS LONG AND UPRIGHT TRUNKS, RAPID GROWTH AND THE ABILITY TO REGROW AFTER FELLING, MADE THIS SPECIES OF EUCALYPTUS VERY ATTRACTIVE AMONG FARMS AT THE TIME.
