Yes that's right - I heard on the radio that there was a plan to plant up
large salinised areas of WA with a Mallee eucalypt species, which would be
harvested every 5-8 years for charcoal etc. Mallees are extremely hardy
multi-stemmed trees with a large underground root system that can go down as
deep as 40 metres to reach groundwater, and therefore have an enormous
regenerative power.
