No, we do not sell seeds. With Kiri trees from a seed propagation, each tree has a different genetic structure later on the plantation. This leads to inhomogeneous growth, inferior wood growth, and therefore lower wood yield. We propagate our plants via in vitro cuttings so that all our plants have the same DNA. Due to the known and proven genetic quality of each tree, you get healthy and symmetrical root growth, resulting in maximum wood yield.

It depends on the number of trees you want to purchase. However, in fact, the planting material is the least cost factor when planning a Kiri trees plantation. Feel free to contact us for more details about our very competive prices.

In order for your Kiri tree plantation to grow successfully, the key is to choose the right plantation location. Regarding the climatic conditions of the plantation, temperatures should never fall below -22°C or be higher than 45°C for a longer period of time. If there is not at least a natural rainfall of 600 mm – 800 mm during the growing period, additional irrigation should be considered. In addition, a Paulownia plantation requires a sandy, sandy-loose, loose and well-draining soil with a pH between 4.7 and 8.3 and a low salt content. Feel free to contact us for evaluation and assessment of your site requirements.

The Kiri trees can be planted from the last frost in spring until late summer. Please note that the trees need sufficient establishment time before the first frost in the fall or winter. Regardless, individual rain seasons must also be considered. Please feel free to contact us for more detailed advice on this.

Of our NordMax21®, H2F3® and H2F4® varieties, 400 trees/ha can be planted in the triangular scheme without thinning/intermediate harvesting in a 5 m x 5 m planting unit. However, we recommend planting 660 trees/ha in a triangular scheme with thinning/intermediate harvesting in a 5 m x 3 m planting unit.

Our Phoenix One® variety can also be planted without thinning/intermediate harvesting in a 5 m x 5 m planting unit at 400 trees/ha in a triangular scheme. However, we recommend planting 660 trees/ha or 825 trees/ha in a triangular scheme with thinning/intermediate harvesting in a 5 m x 3 m planting unit.

In regions with unpredictable rainfall, at least temporary irrigation is needed for the first two to three years. Usually, by then the trees have developed their first storage roots and are thus able to survive even longer periods of drought.

Generally speaking (with the exception of the ever-humid tropics), artificial irrigation / supplemental irrigation can significantly promote tree growth.

By the term variety a plant is defined in kind and quality, in that it is distinguished by certain characteristics or properties from other groups of the same genus.

Only Kiri tree hybrids that are registered with the Community Plant Variety Office (CPVO) of the European Union may be called a variety and thus have variety protection.

Currently, a total of seven cherry tree varieties are registered within the EU, four of which are registered to WeGrow Germany GmbH.

Shan Tong is originally a cultivar from China, but according to the above definition it cannot be called a variety, because under this umbrella term a wide variety of genetics exists, some of which are propagated via seeds or roots and sold in Europe. Because it is not protected by variety law in Europe, there is no guarantee which genetics you will get. So there are no clear characteristics that are constant.
