Abstract
Climatic conditions within the naturaldistribution of Eucalyptus dunnii were determinedusing interpolated relationships developed forAustralia. Climatic interpolation relationships forAfrica, Central and South America and China as well asAustralia were then used to examine locations where E.dunnii has been successfully grown in trials and todetermine the species' climatic adaptability outsideits natural range. The original climatic profile wasrevised and maps were produced to show climaticallysuitable regions in Australia, China and Central andSouth America.
