About Paulownia

 

 

 

 

 

In the video above, plants 2 years old, 1 year after their technical cut.

 

 

 

 

 

Our Paulownia, ideal clone, for the production of biomass: its particularity is very fast drying under natural conditions. Thus, it reaches 10-12% humidity in 40 days after harvest.

Paulownia's production of biomass and biodiesel

 

 

- It does not need replanting, even when it is cut at the base, the trunk of the bush grows again and quickly due to the root system that is already developed.

- The trunk can be cut at any time regardless of the seasons and the time of harvest.
