PAULOWNIA

Paulownia, a native of China, is the fastest growing tree in the world, offering the easiest hardwood, very strong but aesthetically, which is used to make musical instruments, furniture, luxury yachts and planes lighter. In Japan it is called KIRI and the emblem of the Government and the Prime Minister. Paulownia is considered "aluminium wood" (with 33% by weight and 50% by weight of oak pine) is a tree with broad crown and thick stems with large leaves and flowers clustered in inflorescences large purple or white fragrant. Spectacular blooms in April and May, is drought resistant and has a long life up to 80 years.

Following the specially created 45 parallel hybrids, Romania has recently attracted increased interest in the establishment of plantations and for decorative and ornamental use in gardens and parks. Forestry offers the ideal diversification from real estate and equity portfolios, providing a non-volatile market with high long-term returns on investment, and a low risk-to return ratio. WHY YOU SHOULD INVEST IN FORESTRY Environmentally conscious: sustainable forestry gives a unique opportunity to do something healthy for the planet whilst accruing a healthy capital gain. Long-term, stable investment: with long growth periods and minimal demand / supply fluctuations, forestry offers stable long term return projections. Low entry levels: Forestry investments require little capital (compared to real estate) and being in a stable un-leveraged market offer more dependable less volatile returns. Value rises with maturity: As trees grow, their marketable timber volume increases at an increasing rate, as does the woods value.

Little affected by macroeconomics: No matter global currency fluctuations, inflation and interest rates, the long-term factor of forestry and its fundamental applications produce a more constant growth rate. Hedge against real estate & equity portfolios: For the reasons above, forestrys stability makes it the perfect portfolio hedge against more volatile markets. Flexible exit return dates: with a range of harvest dates forestry investments have great exit strategy flexibility. If the price were to fall one year, wait another year or 2, whilst your asset continues to physically grow. Demand & supply: The supply of timber is diminishing, whilst the demand is projected to increase inline with the global population. The UN projects an increase in the global population of 55% by 2050 and Global consumption of hardwoods has multiplied nearly 25 times in the last 4 decades. Future carbon credit market: some reforestation projects may be applicable for future carbon accreditation depending on location and project management. Hybrids of Paulownia SHAN TONG, 3rd and 4th generation produced by Research Institute in China and Elongate are promoted by PAULOWNIA INVEST because of the high resistance to environmental conditions, high growth rate (by 50-60% than traditional species) and high quality wood product. Paulownia can adapt to any soil, with a very intense pace of growth in the first years of life grows 4-5 feet / year and the commercial value of wood is similar to the wood of walnut, but due to rapid growth, reaches maturity 6-7 years and can be realized more quickly. The wood dries very quickly (30-60 days), without sag and the oven drying takes only 30-60 hours. Paulownia leaves are large, 50-60 cm in diameter and are a green manure being used as animal feed.

It is a very good absorber of urban noise and very good support while dust and pollution. It regenerates rapidly from underground rhizomes and sets very well ground, therefore it is recommended planting in areas with landslides.

Its flowers are very popular with bees and can even produce more honey than with acacia. Some studies have also concluded that anti mosquito, mosquitoes removing an area equal to the diameter of its crown.

In recent years, we have established numerous Paulownia plantations in Romania, and interest in entrepreneurship is growing because the wood is of high quality and is very popular abroad, existing plantations already contracted for sale to adulthood.

- has a good quality wood, hardwood, comparable to the nut, very popular in the world market of timber; - plantations, maintenance costs are reduced. PAULOWNIA INVEST was founded to meet three major objectives: 1. To plant directly or indirectly at least 10,000 ha of land with Paulownia. 2. To give the opportunity to others to take advantage of the opportunity that represents the culture of this tree in order to ensure a stable income in the future. 3. To the major benefits brought by this tree in continuous environmental degradation. WOOD PROPERTIES One of the most versatile existing woody species, Paulownia has gained tremendous popularity in the West where cultivation is booming, especially for furniture, plywood and biomass. Paulownia is resistant to twisting (as increases), is resistant to shrinkage (not split) and generally resistant to deformation. Wood has a nice, clean and smooth, without knots. Its properties make fine-grained tree Paulownia wood exceptionally suited for bars, pallets, household furniture and plywood, prefabricated, construction elements and internal panels. Paulownia is also grown as a sustainable source of bio-fuel, a crucial step towards solving the global energy crisis. The tree naturally regenerates from existing root systems, earning the nickname merit phoenix tree. This means you can harvest between minimum 3 and maximum 5 rotations growth wood without the need for replanting. Its leaves are a fast growing and have a huge capacity to absorb carbon dioxide.

THE TERRAIN CONDITIONS, PLANTING To prepare the ground for planting must be made good plowing at least 30 cm, a disking, and have harrowing the soil shredding. If using drill planting plowing land is no longer needed. The soil should not be overly click (if planted in soil also should avoid massaging the soil around the plant avoiding the formation of plasticizer type as suffocating plant). Groundwater level must be less than 2 feet deep and up to 6 m is not rock. It's good to be well worked ground and remove all weeds before planting (over an area of at least 1m / plant). In mountainous areas where there is no possibility of entry of machinery for plowing, digging is done manually, at least 40 inches deep, within a radius of 60 cm from the centre of the circle (plant). The soil should be well moistened necessarily. The best time for planting is spring and summer. Planting, it is important to be done by qualified personnel in this field. It is recommended to apply 1 m nylon sheets to protect the plant (hold moisture). This film is recommended especially in drier areas to maintain humidity and stagnant water from rainfall. Do not use unauthorized herbicides for this plant! Plantations can be fenced with electric pastor to avoid incoming animals (cows, goats, sheep, etc.) After one year of plantation land in trees can be used for pasture, vegetables, etc. The calorific value is 3680 kilocalorie, 2 kg of paulownia = 1 l diesel The planting should be watered abundantly; it takes 2,000 litters of water/ha is recommended to use a dark foil to suppress the water. If it does not rain and drought soak of 7 in 7 days maximum of 3 times to catch and begin to grow. Trapping rate is 100% if it is wet and if it was planted correctly.
