This mainly includes plantations in the forest cultivation area and forest renovations. The variety selection, plantation maintenance and wood production regulations are relatively strict. We recommend consulting the local forestry authority on the possibilities.

Typically established on arable land, where wood is produced for energy purposes (chips, firewood). For both purposes we recommend our ‘Express’ White Willow and our ‘Turbo’ Black Locust, which produce faster growth than conventional varieties, in order to achieve the desired target size sooner.
A more serious level of cooperation, during which the cultivation technology of the propagation material, the technical and technological know-how is transferred within the parameters of a licensing agreement. As our varieties are patent protected, it is only after gaining such a license that you can start propagating the varieties yourself. All such deals are based on unique parameters.
Plantations established in a wide network using intensive cultivation technologies with varieties specifically propagated for this purpose, with the aim of producing the highest quality industrial hardwood in the shortest amount of time. These are generally capital intensive investments due to the more expensive vegetative propagation material, but the expected yields and return on investment is also order of magnitudes higher than when using common varieties. Our company offers unique varieties for the establishment of high-yielding industrial wood plantations (see Black Locust ‘Turbo Obelisk’, Salix alba ‘Express’).

Application to the forestry authority to allow implementation is necessary and the license is valid for 5 years after issuance.
The forestry authorities must be notified 21 days prior to commencement of a complete clear-cut or partial harvest of wood stock, and must also be notified within 30 days of completion.
