Ash content, calorific value and content of selected organic and mineral constituents in leaves, branches, roots, stem-wood and bark of four year old, plantation grown Eucalyptus urophylla × grandis were analyzed. Ash contents of the five component tree tissues ranged from 0.3% to 4.1%, and the order by decreasing ash content was: leaves > bark > branches > roots >stem-wood. Gross and ash free calorific values of the five component tissues ranged from 17.9 to 20.2 kJ g −1 and 18.6 to 21.1 kJ g −1 respectively. Leaves had the highest gross and ash free calorific values and bark the lowest, the order of component tissues by decreasing gross calorific value were: leaves > roots > branches > stem-wood > bark; and by decreasing ash free calorific value: leaves > branches > roots > stem-wood > bark. Gross calorific values of the five component tissues showed no significant correlations with crude protein, crude fiber, crude fat, lignin, or α-cellulose content, nor with the content of any of the elements nitrogen, phosphorous or carbon (P
