Clonal plantation of Eucalyptus camaldulensis × deglupta, an intersectional Symphyomyrtus hybrid, grown for commercial wood production on a rice paddy bund in Thailand. Intersectional hybrids are rarely successful in nature, but individual, highly selected genotypes can be highly vigorous in modified environments.
