Description: Lyptus is a wood made from a hybrid of two species of Eucalyptus tree, Eucalyptus grandis and Eucalyptus urophylla. Developed for quick harvesting, and grown on plantations in Brazil, Lyptus is sometimes seen as an environmentally friendly alternative to old growth oak, cherry, mahogany as Lyptus trees can be harvested for lumber in approximately 15 years.
