Fast-growing willow

Fast-growing willow, also called bamboo willow, fast-growing bamboo willow, is a plant of the genus Willow. Trees with great growth potential. The bark is green and smooth when it is young. The apical advantage is obvious, the axillary buds have strong sprouting power, the branches are earlier, and the angle between the lateral branches and the main stem is 30-45 degrees. The crown is tower-shaped, with even branches. The leaves are lanceolate, with single leaves alternate. The leaves are 15-22cm long and 3.5-6.2cm wide. The tip is long and acuminate, the base is wedge-shaped, and the edges have obvious fine serrations. The front of the leaf is green, the back is off-white, and the petiole is reddish and short. It is a new hybrid of willow, which has been selected, bred and domesticated for many times. Its shape, lateral branches, and dense planting are similar to bamboo, so it is named bamboo willow.

On the basis of inheriting many advantages of traditional willow varieties, bamboo willow further improves the fast-growing and resistance of this species. Bamboo willow has a wide range of uses and is an ideal tree species for industrial raw material forests, large-diameter timber cultivation, street trees, landscaping and farmland shelter forests. Bamboo willows are divided into different strains according to different adaptation areas and characteristics. only Zhuliu No. 3, Zhuliu No. 5, and Zhuliu No. 7 are preserved.

Its shape, lateral branches, and dense planting are similar to bamboo, so it is named bamboo willow.

Main value:

Bamboo willow has a wide range of applications in the wood industry. After cutting into veneer, it can be used to make plywood that is in high demand in the market. It is also an important raw material for particleboard, fiberboard, and pulp industry. From the perspective of board use, bamboo and willow wood density, compression resistance, and shear resistance are stronger than those of my country's main fast-growing tree species, poplar. The board produced has excellent texture and broad market prospects. From the perspective of papermaking materials, the pulp of bamboo and willow has excellent pulp properties, and its cellulose content and texture are higher than poplar, eucalyptus and other tree species, which can be used to replace imported long-fiber pulp.
