https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cutting_(plant)

A plant cutting is a piece of a plant that is used in horticulture for vegetative (asexual) propagation. A piece of the stem or root of the source plant is placed in a suitable medium such as moist soil. If the conditions are suitable, the plant piece will begin to grow as a new plant independent of the parent, a process known as striking. A stem cutting produces new roots, and a root cutting produces new stems.

eucalyptus shoots


Explanation:
Estacas means 'stakes' so obviously they cannot be planted.
By context, they seem to want to say seedlings or shoots, as eucalyptus can be cut down and then grown new shoots.

agree  Tereza Rae: Acho que o termo seedlings é mais usado, mesmo que parte da raiz da planta seja cortada para produzir uma nova, como o Gilmar explicou.
