Scientists Work On Fast Growing Trees For Prairie Shelter Belts
In a Canadian context a drought resistant fast growing tree could transform the prairie landscape within a generation. The Canadian forestry service has produced about 2 000 new hybrid poplars in two years aiming to find drought resistant rapid growers. G B Griffiths of the University of British Columbia has developed a hormone enabling evergreens to root from cuttings in three months, cutting growth time from three years. Douglas fir red cedar sitka spruce dogwood and cascara have been propagated with the Griffith method reducing costs from seed to hormone solution.
