A premium-grade hardwood, Lyptus is grown on highly-productive, environmentally friendly plantations in South America. The plantations are a mix of eucalyptus trees and native tropical forest, ensuring a natural ecosystem. Artists can feel good about using products made from Lyptus Wood. A naturally-occurring hybrid of Eucalyptus grandis and Eucalyptus urophylla, Lyptus forests are 11 times more productive than a temperate forest. Thriving in the warm climate of Brazil, Lyptus trees are ready for har vest in as little as 14-16 years as opposed to 50-70 years in colder regions. The Lyptus plantations have been an important force in reforesting the damaged native rainforests of Brazil. Not only are Lyptus plantations using land that had become useless by years of intensive logging and farming, but for every two hectares (1 Hectare = 2.471 Acres) of Lyptus plantation planted, one hectare of new native forest is planted. The mills used to produce Lyptus Wood use proprietary technology in a sustainable and a environmentally friendly manner. The entire process from planting, to pruning, to manufacturing is carried out with the environment in mind.
