Products

Silvanus Forestry offers a range of high-performance varieties, including the fast-growing, high yielding ‘Turbo’ and ‘Turbo Obelisk’ Robinia varieties, alongside the versatile Salix alba ‘Corvinus’ willow variety.

'Turbo' Robinia
pseudoacacia

Generative robinia selected over several generations. The breeding was aimed at rapid growth and surplus yield in juvenile age, resulting in an increase in wood mass of about 30-50% compared to common robinia. It is recommended primarily for energy plantations and afforestation. It is typically available as 60-100 cm tall free-rooted seedlings sown from seed.

’Turbo Obelisk’ Robinia pseudoacacia

A premium product. A group of varieties selected from the ‘Turbo’ strains and vegetatively propagated. It is particularly recommended for industrial plantations due to its fast and straight growth. Typically available as 60-100 cm tall free-rooted seedlings.

'Corvinus'
Salix alba

A fast growing willow variety. It can be used for afforestation, as a raw material for energy wood plantations and as a plantation for industrial wood. Typically sold as cuttings of 20-30 cm, but other sizes are available on request.
