Trees grow very quickly in the temperate south and tropical north of Western Australia.
Returns on the trees can be obtained in as little as 10 years, depending on site characteristics and the weather. Interim returns can be obtained if the trees are intercropped with annual crops or vegetables, or grazing occurs between the trees. For Australian investors, payments made for the investment in forestry are fully tax deductible. In every country farming has replaced forest and bush. Removal of trees can have a significant impact on the land if they are not replaced.
