Around Pointe Noire (Congo) large areas have been planted with clones of the hybrid E. PF1 (clones 1–41), which resulted from natural crosses between 2 or 3 individuals of ''Eucalyptus alba'' (mother tree) and a group of poorly identified hybrids from Brazil (father tree). The average productivity of 7-year-old plantations of this hybrid in Congo was 20 m³/ha/year.

== Ecology ==

''Eucalyptus alba'' is well adapted to dry lowland climates. It grows in areas with an average annual rainfall of (600–)750–2000(–2500) mm, with a dry period of (2–)4–8 months, and a mean annual temperature of 21–30°C, a mean temperature of the warmest month of 32–35°C, and a mean temperature of the coldest month of 5–10°C. It is fairly tolerant of flooding. In its native area ''Eucalyptus alba'' grows in flat and undulating country, often near the coast or near watercourses, on heavy soil in woodland and open forest from sea level to 700 m altitude.
