''Eucalyptus'' is the most common short fibre source for [[pulpwood]] to make [[Pulp (paper)|pulp]].<ref name=marketpulp>{{Cite book|last=Nanko |first=Hirko |author2=Button, Allan |author3=Hillman, Dave |title=The World of Market Pulp |publisher=WOMP, LLC |year=2005 |location=Appleton, WI, USA |pages=107–9 |isbn=978-0-615-13013-2 }}</ref> The types most often used in [[papermaking]] are ''[[Eucalyptus globulus]]'' (in temperate areas) and the ''[[Eucalyptus urophylla]]'' x ''[[Eucalyptus grandis]]'' hybrid (in the tropics).<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.goldenscapetreeafrica.org/eucalyptus.html|website=GoldenscapeTreeAfrica.org|title=Goldenscape Tree Africa|publisher=Goldenscape Tree Africa|access-date=2018-03-27|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180327212013/https://www.goldenscapetreeafrica.org/eucalyptus.html|archive-date=2018-03-27|url-status=dead}}</ref> The fibre length of ''Eucalyptus'' is relatively short and uniform with low coarseness compared with other hardwoods commonly used as pulpwood. The fibres are slender, yet relatively thick walled. This gives uniform paper formation and high [[opacity (optics)|opacity]] that are important for all types of [[fine paper]]s. The low coarseness is important for high quality [[coated paper]]s.<ref name=marketpulp /> ''Eucalyptus'' is suitable for many [[tissue paper]]s as the short and slender fibres gives a high number of fibres per gram and low coarseness contributes to softness.<ref name=marketpulp />
