10 ways to maximise yield from your willow crop

It is possible to achieve high yields of over 12 oven dry tonnes per hectare per year from willow grown as short rotation coppice (SRC). To achieve this you need to follow this 10 point plan.

Crops for Energy can supply various energy crops including SRC willow cuttings, energy grass seeds including reed canary grass and switchgrass, and tree seedlings for broadleaved coppice and short rotation forestry (SRF). We can also source eucalyptus seedlings for small scale SRF plots. Please contact us for details.

About Us

Crops for Energy was set up in 2004 in order to provide balanced, authoritative and independent information to farmers and land owners who are interested in planting energy crops. Even today, the majority of companies working in this field are linked with only one crop option and therefore growers need to talk to several companies to form their own view.
