It is well regarded as a commercial hardwood timber is therefore a commonly grown plantation species. It grows in these systems as a straight well formed tree and visually most attractive and not prone to attack from insects perhaps as much as many other species gown under similat regimes. It performs well outside its natural range in particular in colder environments. Closely related to Euc. grandis.
