POPLAR CLONES

Our poplar clones for traditional poplar cultivation and biomass

Our nurseries only stock the very best clones required by the global traditional poplar market.

POPLAR CLONES

Our new generation of poplar hybrids is establishing itself more and more in the European market

Our company has a wide range of hybrids that come from our ambitious research programme. Once all the selection phases have been passed and the programmed results have been obtained, the clones are grown in our nurseries before being distributed within the traditional poplar market.

OUR COMMITMENT

Our work for the establishment of new hybrids continues:

We currently have about 80,000 clones under preliminary evaluation in our experimental fields.
  • 3,000 clones in mid-term evaluation that are demonstrating interesting disease resistance and growth performance,
  • 350 clones in final evaluation that will soon enter the market,
  • 3 clones in official trials in Italy, France, Spain and Hungary,
  • 25 clones already registered and from the best hybrid combinations, the result of 40 years of work.


All these cultivars are specific for the different latitudes and altitudes of Europe and for the different industrial uses. Our work is aimed at reducing cutting rounds compared to traditional clones and ensuring that eco-sustainable poplars reach maturity.


We are currently finishing the selection of another 50 clones from a more advanced genetic programme. In 2024 we will begin the first field tests with experimental tests divided into plots with the comparison of sample clones such as the traditional clone I-214.
