A Workshop was held in Townsville, Queensland, Australia in May 2006 entitled: "Where to from here with R&D to underpin plantations of highvalue timber species in the ¿seasonally-dry¿ tropics of northern Australia?" Its focus was on African mahogany, Khaya senegalensis, and followed a broader-ranging Workshop with a similar theme held in Mareeba, Queensland in 2004. The 2006 Workshop comprised eight technical working sessions over two days preceded by a field trip to look at local trial plantings of African mahogany. The working sessions covered R&D in: tree improvement, nutrition, soils, silviculture, establishment, management, productivity, pests, diseases, wood properties; and R&D needs and management.
