GROWING POPLAR AND WILLOW TREES ON FARMS N.Z. Book

Guidelines to help landowners grow and manage poplar and willow trees on their land.

Different species of the genus Populus, also known as poplars, are of great economic importance as major sources of timber, pulp and fiber. Salix species, or willows, have become very important sources of biomass for bioenergy. Both are characterised by their fast-growing trees, being asexually propagated, and having several species growing in riparian areas prone to flooding. This book studies the cultivation, applications and environmental benefits of poplars and willows.

Millions of poplar and willow trees are growing on farms for stabilizing erosion prone hill country, providing farm livestock with shelter and shade, resolving drainage problems and providing a source of supplementary fodder during dry summers.

This book contains information from practical experiences to give the best practice protocols for establishing and managing poplar and willow trees and using them wisely

Contains colour photo's throughout
