gPS manages 296,000 acres of forest, with 74 percent of the forest yielding Eucalyptus trees. The company uses vegetative propagation of selected trees, and it is those cuttings that give origin to modern plantations. During its growth, the tree will naturally debark and lose the lower-level branches. After the first fell, at the age of 12, the tree is kept alive and reshoots from the coppice. Three fells are done using the reshooting ability of the species. The average time between each fell is 12 years and, subsequent to the third fell, the land is replanted.
