Management guide for Paulownia plantations grown for timber

Introduction

Welcome to World Tree and to growing Paulownia for timber. In this guide you will find a general management plan for caring for and maintaining a Paulownia plantation; however, our forestry technical team will help you adapt a specialized plan based on the conditions of your own farm. We recommend reading this guide before deciding to go ahead with planting, to make sure you will have the time and resources to care for your plantation properly. The success of your plantation will depend on good planting, maintenance and pruning within the first 4 years of the tree's life. World Tree representatives will make regular visits to your site to offer support in person, and are available by phone or email for any questions along the way.
