Why Plant Paulownia?

Genetically superior tissue cultured, pathogen disease-free seedlings. (Not propagated from seed)

Paulownia was recorded in China as far back as 1049 AD and the writings mention Paulownia being grown in plantations for production of high quality Saw Timber. More than 3 Million Hectares have been planted in China over the last 50 years.

Traditional reforestation practices are unable to keep up with the decimation of Tropical forests and global demand for timber products. Paulownia provides an alternative timber source that can produce Quality Saw Timber in 5 to 6 years.
