Geneticists find
Fast-Growing Tree
Texas AAM forestry geneti-
ciata have produced cottonwood
trass that range 80 to 40 feet
in height in only three growing
seasons.
Dr. Hans yan Buijtenen, AAM
ailvkulturiat, says he’s not lure
if such growth la some kind of
n record for common-type trees,
but it’s plenty fast
The forester didn’t'" nee hor
mones or other way-out scienti
fic methods. Instead, they relied
on selection of growing stock,
fertilisation, irrigation and a
deep, high quality soil.
The trees grew from 18-inch
cuttings planted in rows on five
seres of rich Brazos bottom land
—land that is usually put in ex
perimental crops of such cash
kings aq cotton and grain sor-
gham.
Why cottonwoods and why
grow them on such choke farm
• land?
A slick, lightereight paper
highly desirable for magasines
can be produced by adding the
cottonwood to the fiber mixture
The AAM project is in coopera
tion witii the U. S. Plywood-
Champion ^aifurs Inc., whkh
makes much of the paper used
by several nationally distributed
magasines. Lightweight paper
means greater savings in mail
com, because cottonwoods don’t
cotton to competition from weeds.
Neither do they* grow out well
on forest land when competing
with other trees.

So far, the five-acre plot looks
marginal at far as economics
are concerned, vah Bui
says, but much remains to bo seen.
“If we get leas than two or
s three cords par acre, the effort
- probably wont be worth it,” the
silviculturist added. “Champion
would liko to see us get four to
five cords to the acre.”
Using stock selected on the
basis of nursery performance,
the cottonwoods were planted in
' light Miller Clay in March, 1988.
By summer’s end that year, the
saplings reached 12 to 17 foot
in height •
At the end of the second grow
ing season (1987), heights of'up
to 84 foot and average diameter*
of 3.7 inches at cheat height wore
found. 71m trees are now SO to
40 foot high, and trunk diameters
are averaging five inches. T
Van Buijtenen believes that
the first pulpwood will be ready
for cutting in a year or tiro,
. when trees removed for thinning
will be pulpwood sise.
In the beginning, 2,000 cuttirw*
with 10 different selections were
planted on the five acres. Row
spacing* were 10, 12, and 14
fact, with plants I, 8 and 7 fast
apart.
